Land Registry Expertise

Our expertise in preparing Land Registry Compliant Lease Plans involves creating detailed, accurate drawings of leased properties. These plans are meticulously drafted to comply with specific guidelines set out by the HM Land Registry. They include clear representation of the property layout, indicating the leased area (demised premises), boundaries, and common areas, with a specific scale (commonly 1:200 or 1:1250 for urban properties, and 1:2500 for rural properties) and a clear North point for orientation.

Our lease plans are also distinguished by coloured edgings to define different parts of the property, with internal structures and access points clearly marked. This level of detail ensures that the plans are not only compliant with legal standards but also practical for property management and dispute resolution.

Lease Plan Land Registry Plans FAQs

A Lease Plan is a detailed, scale drawing that outlines the specific area of a property being leased, including boundaries, internal layouts, and any shared facilities. It is essential for clearly defining the leased premises in legal documents.

Since the Land Registration Act 2002, any new lease over seven years, or existing leases sold or assigned with seven or more years remaining, must be registered with the Land Registry. A compliant Lease Plan ensures legal recognition and prevents future disputes over property boundaries.

A compliant Lease Plan must:

  • Be drawn to an appropriate scale, typically 1:100 or 1:200 for the plan, and 1:1250 or 1:2500 for the location plan.
  • Include a north point for orientation.
  • Clearly show the property boundaries, with the demised premises edged in red.
  • Depict sufficient detail to be identified on the Ordnance Survey map.
  • Include a scale bar and a plan key.
