Our Services

Comprehensive surveying and mapping services backed by RICS-chartered expertise and over 30 years of precision measurement. From Land Registry plans to boundary disputes, we deliver the authoritative data your project demands.

Land Registry Plans

Land Registry Plans

HM Land Registry compliant

We prepare clear, accurate, and fully compliant plans for submission to HM Land Registry. Our plans are produced in accordance with the Land Registry's published standards and are suitable for title registration, transfers of part, leases, and first registrations. Whether the work can be completed from existing mapping data or requires a measured survey, we ensure every plan meets the accuracy and clarity needed to avoid delays or rejections.

Desktop-based plans are typically delivered within 24 hours. We also offer cross-referencing against title — available for both digital plans and office copy paper titles — to identify any discrepancies before submission.

What We Offer

1

Desktop-Based Compliant Plans

Plans produced directly from Ordnance Survey MasterMap at appropriate scales (1:500, 1:1,250, or 1:2,500). Each plan is checked for compliance with Land Registry guidance, showing boundaries, access, and orientation clearly for registration.

2

Leasehold Plans

Accurate lease plans for new or existing leases, showing demised areas, shared spaces, and access routes. Where necessary, we undertake a measured survey to ensure internal layouts are represented correctly.

3

Complex Splits & Title Subdivisions

Specialist mapping for splitting existing titles or dealing with complex scenarios such as flying freeholds, retained access, or shared rights. We work closely with solicitors to ensure every retained and transferred area is clearly defined.

4

Surveying New Boundaries

When new boundaries are being created, for example, when selling part of a property or forming new plots, we carry out precise measured surveys using GPS or total station equipment to ensure the plan reflects what will exist on the ground.

Ideal for

  • Title registration
  • Transfers of part
  • New leases
  • First registrations
  • Plans for succession planning and family division

Key Deliverables

  • Land Registry compliant plans
  • Scaled OS-based mapping

Digital Mapping

Digital Mapping

OS MasterMap data

We produce detailed digital maps for estates, farms, and land portfolios using the latest Ordnance Survey data. Our mapping supports estate management, planning, and environmental reporting by showing accurate ownership, land use, and designations. Each plan is tailored to your needs and can include parcel schedules, overlays, or custom data layers to give a complete picture of your land.

Boundary Surveys & Expert Advice

Boundary Surveys & Expert Advice

30+ years boundary experience

We regularly assist clients, solicitors, and land agents in resolving boundary disputes through clear, impartial mapping and measured surveys.

Although The Mapping Company no longer provides formal Expert Witness Reports or court representation, we offer a range of services to help establish clarity and support resolution.

Patrick Rose MRICS FAAV brings decades of experience in boundary matters and has previously been appointed solely, jointly or directly by the court to assist in boundary determinations. While we no longer attend court or provide CPR-compliant reports, our work remains highly valuable in helping parties reach resolution early, often avoiding costly litigation altogether.

Our role is to provide clarity where confusion exists — and sometimes that means offering advice you may not want to hear, but which saves you considerable time and money in the long run.

What We Offer

1

Measured Boundary Surveys

Using modern GPS, total station, and laser equipment, we capture the exact position of boundary features on site. Our surveys provide a reliable foundation for negotiation, conveyancing, or submission to the Land Registry.

2

Analysis of Deeds, Plans and Aerial Imagery

We examine title deeds, historic conveyance plans, OS mapping, and aerial photography to identify inconsistencies, overlaps, or missing information. This layered analysis helps establish how a boundary came to be and what evidence best supports each party's claim.

3

High-Quality Mapping for Resolution and Registration

We produce clear, scaled plans that meet Land Registry standards and are suitable for professional reports, correspondence between parties, or mediation. Every plan is tailored to the level of detail and clarity required for the situation.

4

Experienced Guidance and Interpretation

Our team brings decades of experience in understanding how boundaries are interpreted in practice. We explain findings in plain language and advise on the most practical next steps, helping clients make informed decisions and often avoid the cost of legal escalation.

Ideal for

  • Boundary disputes
  • Neighbour disagreements
  • Conveyancing clarification
