Transfer Plans / Title Plans (TP1, First Registration, Boundary Changes)
When land is being transferred - whether selling part of a garden, dividing a building, or transferring land between titles - the transfer must be supported by a clear and compliant plan.
A Transfer Plan (often prepared for a TP1 form) shows precisely what land is being transferred out of an existing title.
When is a Transfer Plan Needed?
Transfer plans are commonly required for:
- Sale of part (TP1)
- First registration of unregistered land
- Boundary alterations
- Garden land sales
- Adverse possession applications
- Grant or reservation of easements
Accuracy is particularly important where rights of way or other easements are involved. HM Land Registry guidance makes clear that easements must be correctly applied against all affected titles to avoid future complications.
What Must a Transfer Plan Show?
A compliant transfer plan will:
- Be drawn to Land Registry accepted scale (typically 1:500 or 1:1250)
- Clearly edge the land being transferred
- Show sufficient surrounding detail for identification
- Include a north point
- Be consistent with the transfer deed
Because HM Land Registry site maps show only “general boundaries”, clarity in the transfer plan itself is essential to avoid future disputes.
Our Approach
We prepare accurate, measured transfer plans using Ordnance Survey base mapping and on-site measurements where required.
- Clear red edging for transferred land
- Additional colouring for retained land or rights
- Clear depiction of access routes and easements
- Suitable for solicitor submission and Land Registry registration
If solicitors request revisions, we respond quickly to ensure the transaction progresses without delay.
