This work covers disputes about where a land boundary actually lies, including fences, walls, hedges and shared access. A solicitor in Boundaries checks title and plan documents, inspects Land Registry title plans, and coordinates surveyors. They draft boundary notices, statements of case, and boundary agreements, and may apply to the courts for declarations or injunctions. They manage evidence collection, negotiations with neighbours, and engagement with local authorities to resolve who owns or controls the line.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The boundary issue may involve title defects, overlapping plans, rights of way, and disputed encroachments. A solicitor handles the preparation and analysis of title documents, coordinates expert surveys, and guides the case through the appropriate procedure, from negotiations to court or tribunal applications, ensuring the boundary position is clearly argued and protected.
