Boundary Survey

What is a Boundary Survey?

A Boundary Survey is a specialist investigation carried out by our RICS Chartered Surveyors to determine the precise legal boundary of a property. It involves a detailed examination of title deeds, Land Registry plans, historical documents, and physical features on the ground.

Boundary disputes are among the most common and costly property disagreements in England and Wales. A professionally prepared Boundary Survey provides clear, evidence-based conclusions that can be used in negotiations, mediation, or court proceedings.

Whether you are dealing with a neighbour dispute, planning a development, or need clarity on your title, our surveyors provide impartial, expert analysis backed by RICS professional standards.

When Do You Need a Boundary Survey?

• You are in dispute with a neighbour over the position of a boundary, fence, or wall
• You are purchasing a property and need clarity on the extent of the title
• You are planning a development or extension close to a boundary
• A solicitor or court has requested an expert boundary determination
• You need to register a boundary with the Land Registry under the determined boundary procedure
