A Title Plan is an official map that shows the general boundaries and location of a property in the UK. It is part of the title documents held by HM Land Registry and is used to identify the land included within a registered title.
• A Title Plan shows the general boundaries of a property
• Based on Ordnance Survey mapping
• Boundaries are usually outlined in red
• Held by HM Land Registry for England and Wales
• Used alongside the Title Register
A Title Plan provides a visual representation of the property.
It typically shows:
• The location of the property
• The general shape of the land
• Boundary outlines
• Surrounding roads and features
The property is usually marked with a red line to indicate the land included in the title.
A Title Plan is commonly used to:
• Check the extent of a property
• Understand which land is included in ownership
• Identify boundaries in a general sense
• Support property transactions
It is often used alongside the Title Register for a complete overview of a property.
Title Plans follow the “general boundaries” rule.
This means:
• They do not show exact legal boundary lines
• They do not include precise measurements
• They are not suitable for resolving detailed disputes
They provide a general indication of ownership, not exact positioning.
To obtain a Title Plan:
1. Identify the correct property
2. Locate the relevant title
3. Request a copy of the Title Plan
4. Receive the document digitally
While HM Land Registry stores the official records, locating the correct title and retrieving the document can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with the system.
The simplest way to get a Title Plan is by ordering it online through a document retrieval service.
This allows you to:
• Access the correct plan for your property
• Avoid selecting the wrong title
• Receive the document quickly
It is important to understand the difference between these two documents:
• The Title Plan shows the location and boundaries of the property
• The Title Register shows ownership and legal details
Both documents are often used together.
In some situations, a Title Plan alone may not be enough.
You may also need:
• Filed Deeds for additional legal information
• Lease documents for leasehold properties
• A professional survey for precise boundary measurements
The most reliable way to check the location and boundaries of a property is by viewing the official Title Plan.
