Land Registry Compliant Plans: Fast, Accurate, Architect-Drawn.

Land Registry Compliant Plans: What “Compliant” Actually Means

There’s a lot of mythology around compliant plans.
In reality, HM Land Registry wants something very simple:

A clear, scaled, accurate drawing that shows exactly what someone owns.
No pixelated screenshots.
No lines drawn at 3am in Microsoft Paint.
No “hope-for-the-best” boundaries.

⸻

A compliant plan must include:

• A precise red line boundary
• Correct scale (1:1250 or 1:500)
• OS mapping (properly licensed)
• A north arrow
• Enough surrounding detail to identify the property

We follow Practice Guide 40 like it’s scripture, so your plan passes first time.

Why Solicitors Outsource Plans

Short version: because your time is too valuable to spend wrestling with mapping software.

Longer version:
• OS licensing is fiddly
• CAD/QGIS isn’t designed for conveyancers
• HM Land Registry will happily reject anything slightly off
• Outsourcing is faster, safer, and cheaper than fixing a requisition later

Our architect-led workflow means you get accuracy without the headaches.

The Plans We Produce

(All the Usual Suspects)

Title Plans (The Classic Red Line Job)

For freeholds, first registrations and clearing up “where exactly is the boundary?” arguments.

Lease Plans

New leases, variations, extensions, all drawn to the proper scale with the right hatching.

Transfer of Part (TP1) Plans

When someone sells the back garden, splits land or carves up an odd-shaped plot.

Multi-Plot & Development Plans

For developers, agents or anyone dealing with more than one box on the map.

1:1250 & 1:500 Location / Site Plans

The wide-angle view; The property, its context and a red line that actually lines up with reality.

Why an Architect Should Draw Your Plan

Architects have an annoying habit:
we care when lines don’t line up.

That means:
• Boundaries that are actually accurate
• No stretching, scaling, or “best guess” outlines
• Proper layering and annotations
• Plans that HM Land Registry can understand without squinting
• Zero risk of rejection due to basic errors

We combine architectural precision with the speed of an online service — the best of both worlds.
