Boundary surveys are one of the surveys we carry out the most, after topographical surveys.
These surveys are carried out for a number of reasons which include the sale or transfer of land, clarification of where a fence or wall should be positioned, or a boundary dispute between neighbours.
A boundary dispute can arise when two or more parties disagree on the position or extent of a boundary that separates their properties.
There are several ways that a boundary dispute can occur. For example, one party may build a structure that encroaches on the other party’s land, or a neighbour may claim a portion of land that the other party believes is theirs. Sometimes, boundary disputes arise due to unclear or ambiguous descriptions in title deeds or land registry plans, or as a result of changes in the landscape over time.
We create reports and plans to resolve a boundary disputes and will work with other appointed surveyors to resolve disputes. In many cases simply opening up communications between both parties can resolve a dispute, however sometimes mediation, or legal action maybe required. We endeavour to determine the precise location of the boundary line with the information available, we’ll research historic mapping, reports and photographs.
