We understand that entering into a boundary dispute can be a stressful and worrying time for clients, but we at Latitude Surveys Limited offer advice on boundary problems and provide a professional and confidential boundary demarcation service including boundary investigation and the provision of accurate plans and Expert Witness Court Reports which can be used by solicitors if client’s cases do revert to court.
The company is a regulated member of RICS (The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), and this is usually a requirement of the courts to show competence in boundary issues.
We offer a professional and impartial boundary dispute service which is regulated by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and our staff are professional qualified Chartered Land Surveyors.
We can offer advice on all aspects of boundary issues including Expert Witness, Boundary Agreements, CPR35 Reports, Determined Boundaries and Land Registry Compliant Plans.
We undertake accurate measured surveys of the boundaries of the property to ascertain if the current boundary configuration relates to either the Land Registry held Title Plans or the property Originating Conveyance documents.
This is then followed up with an advisory report to briefly discuss our findings and offer our professional opinion.
The CPR35 Report is an in depth and detailed report, similar to our advisory report, but is addressed to the court in which the boundary dispute is likely to be heard.
The CPR35 report must follow specific guidelines and contain specific detail and contain a professional opinion and declaration of the expert witness.
We can prepare plans which can be used in boundary agreements, for instance where maintenance of a boundary feature is being negotiated, or where the position of a boundary may be different from that shown on Land Registry documents and the clients are in agreement.
Using Land Registry Practice Guide 40, we can undertake Determined Boundary Surveys and prepare suitable plans for Determined Boundaries.
In this instance, the Determined Boundary Plan provides National Grid surveyed co-ordinates for each point on the boundary, accompanied by a description of each boundary point.
We can prepare plans which are Land Registry compliant and suitable for property land transfers and Separation of Title.
We can provide independent, impartial expert opinion for court, arbitration or tribunal on all aspects of land surveying and boundary issues.
