What is a 'title plan' and what does it show?

When land or property is registered we prepare a title register and a title plan. The title plan shows the extent of the land or property in the registration. Our plans are based on an extract of the Ordnance Survey map.

A title plan shows:

the registered extent of the land/property edged in red
the title number (our unique identifying reference)
the Ordnance Survey map used to prepare the title plan
the scale of the plan (usually 1:1250 for urban areas and 1:2500 or 1:10,000 for rural areas)
the administrative area for the land/property (the council you pay your council tax to)
black lines marking out features such as buildings, walls, fences or hedges.

Some title plans have areas which are coloured. These relate to specific entries in the title register.

Note: Title plans show only the general position of boundaries, so it is not possible to establish the precise position of the boundary of land or property by scaling from the title plan.
