Hi,<br> We have recently bought our house (4 weeks ago) and the title deeds are incorrect with the LR. Land marked as a neighbours that should be within ours as only we have access to it, and we need them changed. Is it straight forward to apply yourself? We have had a boundary survey completed which we will send along with an AP1 but unsure if this is something a conveyancer is best to deal with. Any suggestions welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Hannah - We do not specify that a conveyancer must be used, however it depends on your knowledge and awareness of the legal implications of what you may be attempting.  We can only assist with guidance on our procedures.  If you are attempting to change the extent of the land in the title, then it may impact on your neighbours and that is where legal advice may be important. <br> I hope this is of some help.

Thanks Nimish, fortunately for us our neighbours are on board as the way our boundary sits means that the issue we have, they have too. Our properties mirror each other so the land they have access to is marked as ours. We don't have any awareness of the legal complications. When we were in the process of buying the property, we noticed an issue with the boundary straight away but it was brushed under the carpet by the sellers conveyancing team right up until the last minute so we had to complete the purchase without it sorted and agree to us dealing with it after. Would you advise it best to instruct a conveyancer or if from what I've just said, does it sound likely that it could be pretty straight forward?

Hi Hannah - It would not be appropriate for me to advise if you should use a conveyancer or not. <br> <br> It is for you, and possibly your neighbours, to decide how to proceed.  If you are comfortable to undertake the actions yourself then you can do so, but would have to be aware that if any problem arises now or in future then you would have to take the responsibility of your actions.  What the legal professional provides is the assurance that all the legal aspects are dealt with correctly and cover you if anything goes wrong after that.
