An interesting development.... Parish Council and Winchester City Council agreed a landscaping agreement area based on a plan from land registry.stamped in 1986. Our (absolute) title plan from purchase in 2006 contradicts this. The title plan in 2001 (previous owner) is same as ours.<br> So 2 different land registry plans for the same vicinity. Ours in 2006&#160;shows land is ours. The 1986 version shows it isn't, but owner is unregistered.&#160;<br> We have assumed that because our 2006 title plan is most recent it is the most accurate.<br> The bad news is that the landscaping agreement was based on the 1986 plan.<br> Any thoughts? Is it as simple as 'most up to dare plan = most accurate'? We have downloaded a latest title plan and 2025 version is unchanged from our 2006 version from when we purchased our house.<br> &#160;

Paul - title plans for different title numbers are created at different times and based on the Ordnance Survey base map available at the time of that initial registration.<br> Title plans don't show the exact legal boundary and should be interpreted as such. And you won't have more than one title plan for the same title so there's no 'most up to date plan', just a single title plan for a single title number.<br> Our PG 40 supplements contain a myriad of guidance re title plans, boundaries and registered extents -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/land-registration-practice-guides#guides-40-to-49">Land registration: Practice guides - GOV.UK</a>

Yet again thank you Adam. We have looked at the practice guidelines and understand that precision isn't guaranteed. However this is a very distinct plot 30' x 20'. Two documents, our 2006 title plan with the plot included and another document, supplied by our solicitor at time of our purchase, provided from city council and stamped by land registry in 1986 showing us without the plot. The issue is that the council granted a landscaping agreement in 1987 over the plot based on their plan stamped by land registry in 1986.&#160;<br> Back n 1997 a previous owner was forced by city council to remove the fence around the plot because of the landscaping agreement.<br> We're about to spend £6K+ fencing and ground clearing it in as per our title deed but anticipate city council enforcement action to remove it.<br> &#160;

Paul - a title plan and 'another document' are not the same thing so it's important, when dealing with registered information to focus on the title plan alone re the registered extent/general boundaries<br> If you are of the view that the title plan is 'wrong' and an error has been made then you can report that error and the support team can investigate and respond as appropriate -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/public-guidance-dealing-with-land-and-property#contact-form">Public guidance: dealing with land and property - GOV.UK</a>

Hi (again)<br> does land registry keep copies of conveyances when they are sent to them for registration?&#160;<br> A farmers track adjacent to our house was conveyed to our house in 1984 and it became our drive. The field the track led to was sold off for development.&#160;<br> Our absolute title deed plan shows the drive as part of our property.<br> We can't find the conveyance although it is referred to in a covenant a few months later.&#160;<br> We would love to see the wording of the conveyance&#160;<br> Many thanks<br> Paul Rodford<br> &#160;

Hi Paul - sometimes we do but that all depends on their relevance to the registered information. For example if we refer to the conveyance on the register as 'field' then we scan and keep a copy.&#160;The vast majority of old deeds/documents are returned to the applicant though after registration&#160;
