Transfer of a House / Flat / Apartment
Plan supplied
The Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers for the applicant should supply a plan where either:
- the Property to be searched is not a Property with a recognised postal description (for example where the Property searched is being described as 'land at . . .' or 'land on . . .'
- there is any possible doubt regarding the identification of the extent of the Property.
The plan should:
- be drawn to scale;
- if the Registrar so requires, be a copy of an extract from the Ordnance Survey map on the largest scale published showing the Property to which the application relates;
- indicate the scale and orientation;
- show the precise extent of the Property by suitable colouring / edging, and
- show the position of the Property in relation to nearby roads and other relevant features.
Properties in new developments or in blocks of flats may also require a location plan. Plans of flats and maisonettes should indicate floor levels.
The Land Registry is unable to supply Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers for the applicants with an extract of the Ordnance Survey ma for the purposes of making an official search. Ordnance Survey, through its stockists, can supply up-to-date extracts of its maps. Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers can also find information on the Internet. Google maps are not generally acceptable to Land Registry.
Where a plan is required, the lack of a suitable plan that can be related to the Ordnance Survey map will result in the application being returned to the Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers.
Certificate of result
Wherever possible, Land Registry will issue the certificate of result of the search by return of post. The certificate of result will show whether the Property searched is registered, subject to a pending application for first registration or subject to a pending application to register a caution against first registration. It will state the title numbers that affect and the type and tenure of registrations that have been disclosed.
Under no circumstances can Land Registry provide the result of the SIM over the telephone.
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers can lodge the certificate of result of the search on any subsequent correspondence or application for first registration.
Plans issued with a result of a search of the index map
Where the result of the search reveals that part of the Property searched is unregistered or is affected by more than one registered Deeds, Land Registry may issue a plan illustrating the Properties shown on the index map. However, in order for the search service to operate efficiently, it is restricted to situations where:
- the whole of the Property is registered under two to five different title numbers and fits on a plan no larger than A3 at 1:1250, and
- part of the Property searched is unregistered and the remainder of the Property searched is registered under one to five different title numbers and fits on a plan no larger than A3 at 1:1250.
Land Registry will not issue a plan where the Property searched is wholly registered under a single title number or under co-extensive titles, for example, co-extensive freehold and leasehold title deeds.
All plans issued with the result of a search of the index map are for illustrative purposes only and do not define the extent of the Property in any individual title. They are prepared for the sole purpose of showing the area in respect of which an official search has been made.
Illustrative plans are not provided as part of the statutory service and are not suitable for official copies.
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers can obtain an official copy of the Property Deeds and Plan for further information about a registered set of deeds, including its extent. Official copies of title plans have the following note about general boundaries:
'The title plan shows the general position, not the exact line, of the boundaries. It may be subject to distortions in scale. Measurements scaled from this plan may not match measurements between the same points on the ground'.
