Your land registry map consists of an Ordnance Survey base map and a Land Registry red outline with or without yellow shading for rights of way / way leaves.

 

In order to regularise your map so that the red line matches what is on the ground, your mapping errors need to be addressed appropriately.

 

ie. Ordnance Survey errors need to be addressed by submitting a QA form to the Ordnance Survey Ireland website. On the other hand, Land Registry mapping errors can only be dealt with by communicating with the Land Registry’s Mapping Unit.

 

Paudie Barry holds two degrees, one in Civil Engineering and one in Geographic Information Systems. His Civil Engineering survey experience enables Paudie to accurately check and correct the Ordnance Survey Base Map.

 

Paudie’s GIS background enables him to communicate fluently with the Land Registry Spatial Information Unit in order for them to migrate the red line so that it accurately reflects your physical boundary on the ground.

WE CAN ACCURATELY ESTABLISH WHERE YOUR BOUNDARY IS

ESTABLISH YOUR BOUNDARY

We can accurately establish your boundary or right of way using high-specification GPS surveying equipment and based on the digital boundary information provided by the PRAI.

At Baseline Surveys, we can help clients to resolve boundary disputes by taking the following steps:

  1. We check that the existing Land Registry maps accurately reflect what is on the ground.
  2. We survey the site using a combination of GPS, 3D laser scanner and a survey drone.
  3. Within Baseline Surveys geographic information system, overlay the survey results with the current digital ordnance survey map and the current digital Land Registry red outline.
  4. We take the necessary steps to regularise the PRAI map if the Land Registry folio is inaccurate.
  5. Once the map is in order, it is overlaid onto the drone aerial photography so that the client and their neighbour or their solicitor can clearly understand the relationship between the Land Registry map and the land itself. In our past experience, this resolves 99% of boundary disputes.
  6. We can provide expert forensic testimony if required, however, our objective is to resolve the issue long before it goes to court.

Typical Land Registry Mapping Errors And How Baseline Surveys Fixes Them

Land Registry Mapping

1. Land Registry Digitising Errors

By analysing the Land Registry and OSI digital maps, Paudie can quickly identify problems caused by Land Registry digitising errors. These are fixed promptly by quantifying and identifying these errors to the Quality Assurance section within the Land Registry. This typically takes about four weeks to get a satisfactory result.

2. Ordnance Survey Mapping Errors

As the Land Registry is procedurally bound to use OSI mapping detail to map boundaries, the Land Registry faithfully follows OSI detail.

If the Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI) maps your boundary incorrectly, then as night follows day, the Land Registry perpetuates the error. This is easily fixed by identifying and quantifying the error and liaising with the OSI to resolve the mistake on its map.

Once the ordnance survey detail is corrected, the Land Registry will change your registered boundary to suit the OSI map. It typically takes about four weeks to rectify a map.

3. Land Registry Indian Digitisation Project

Since approximately 2010, the Land Registry changed from a paper-based mapping system to a digital mapping system.

This involved all our folios being sent to India for digitising (tracing), which resulted in many inconsistencies between old and new folio maps.

This is such a significant problem that the Land Registry has a particular house and unit set up to deal with these inaccuracies.

Again, it is simple to fix. Paudie locates and quantifies the error by demonstrating through a map overlay exercise that there was an error translating the old folio to the modern filed plan.

This is typically fixed within two weeks in order to regularise your ownership records.

4. Land Registry Rejection Of Submitted Maps

This issue can be the source of much frustration and costly time delays.

Usually, maps are rejected because the geometry is incorrect or, more to the point, they do not line up with the ordnance survey detail.

Baseline Surveys will quickly resolve this problem by submitting a digital file directly to the GIS unit in the Land Registry for approval.

Once approved, the Land Registry will issue our team a dealing number, proving that the geometry has been approved.

This number is applied to a paper map and you are guaranteed acceptance of the map by the Land Registry.
