Is this the legal boundary?

No. We show the property’s location and, where available, the indicative HM Land Registry INSPIRE index boundary. The definitive registered boundary is the official Title Plan, which you can order for £9.

What is the INSPIRE index boundary?

It’s HM Land Registry’s general outline of registered land parcels, published under the Open Government Licence. It’s indicative — useful for orientation — but it is not the legal title plan and shouldn’t be relied on for exact lines or a dispute.

Why does the boundary matter before buying?

Boundaries affect extensions, access, parking, fences and disputes. Checking the rough extent early — and getting the official Title Plan before you commit — avoids expensive surprises.

Can I switch to a satellite view?

Yes — use the “Satellite view” toggle on the map to see aerial imagery of the property and its surroundings, then switch back to the street map.

How it works

How the boundaries check works

Enter a full postcode and we pin the property on an interactive map with a street ⇄ satellite toggle, so you can see the plot in its real surroundings — fences, garden walls, driveways, shared access. Where HM Land Registry’s INSPIRE index polygons are available, we show the indicative outline of the registered land parcel.

For the definitive line you order the official Title Plan from HM Land Registry — £9, usually delivered as a PDF within minutes. That plan, read with the Title Register, is the document a solicitor or court actually relies on. We link you straight to the official GOV.UK service, never a reseller marking it up.

What a title plan does — and doesn’t — settle

Title plans are drawn under HM Land Registry’s “general boundaries rule”: the red edging shows the extent of the registered land against the Ordnance Survey map, not a millimetre-exact line down the middle of a hedge. For most purchases that is plenty. In a genuine dispute — a fence moved, an extension built to the line — you may need a determined-boundary application or a chartered surveyor’s measured survey.

Before an auction or an offer, compare what is being sold against what you can see: a garden that looks bigger than the registered parcel, a parking space outside the red line, or shared access that isn’t in the title are exactly the surprises worth catching early. Boundaries sit alongside tenure, planning and flood in the OfferCheck for the property.
