Land Registry Map Search

Attaching the Land Registry Map to the application form when applying for the search

As the search is made online, how do you attach it to the application form? In many instances this will result in the application being sent through the postal service instead of online, so that the application form and the map can be kept together. The alternative is worse - applying online and posting the map separately, hoping that the two will be married together by someone in the office who is willing to spend several hours sifting through the mail.

Solution

By building the map into the application form the problem of not being able to apply on line is overcome, as we will receive the application and map as one document.

The Land Registry standard map does not always identify the land accurately

This is especially so where the land is either large, asymmetrical or very small.

Solution

We have now resolved this problem as well. We now have 2 maps on our application form so our customers can chose which one will suit them best. The second map, our advanced map, allows customers to trace the outline of the property they wish to search, straight onto the map. An exact copy of the map with its traced outline is received by us, embedded on the application form, enabling us to quickly identify the property with pin-point accuracy.

Changing the Land Registry Map Search Outline before sending it

Solution

We have created an edit facility on the advanced map so that the map can be edited before sending it to us.

Paying Only for Searches included in the Land Registry Map Search Area

A Land Registry search will provide information for all areas of land covered by the search area on the map. If the map outline crosses onto an adjoining property that information is not required for, it will be shown and added to the search, resulting in further cost.

Solution

The map editing facility allows you not only to edit the map but to zoom in to a higher magnification and ensure the boundary lines are all within the boundaries of the land you are searching for. The outline does not need to be exactly on the boundary; it will suffice so long as it is within the boundary, as that will still show the ownership of that parcel of land. The zoom facility could, in theory, allow you to search, for example, the whole breadth of the UK, zoomed right out. You could then zoom in, adjusting the property outline more accurately, until you have an exact property outline from coast to coast.

Using the Land Registry Map Search in Different Map Views

Correctly identifying the property may require viewing it in Map View, Satellite View and/or Street View.

Solution

Both of our maps allow for switching views without changing the pinned or outlined property, so you can move in and out of views while identifying your land

Fees for Large Areas of Land

The cost of searching for very large areas of land ownership depends on the number of Titles revealed. This cannot be known in advance, so how can our customers know what they will be charged.

Solution

With large areas of land we have a separate search that charges only for the first 5 search results. We then ascertain the total number of Titles held and advise you of the cost and request authority to proceed, at which point you can opt not to proceed, or to proceed for part of the search area only.

We also provide a hefty discount to our fees for obtaining the balance of the searches. This type of search, the Large Areas of Land Search, requires a fee of £89.50 for the first 5 Titles and thereafter £4.95 for the remainder of the searches.

Our fee for a Map Search for a single plot of land is only £29.95. We know of no other business who offers these online map searches to obtain a Land Registry Title Deed.
