I'm (hopefully) nearing the end of a torturous boundary dispute with my neighbour. Said neighbour has agreed to purchase my portion of a shared path they accidentally (?) incorporated into a new parking area they had built, and recently their solicitor provided me with the TP1 and plan necessary for the transfer.

My gut instinct is that the plan (see above) is too vague to be fit-for-purpose, but I would be interested to get an opinion on this from the Land Registry.

As the strip to be transferred is relatively small (approximately 7m x 0.5m) and will, in effect move the legal boundary between our front gardens to the edge of a new brick-edged resin-topped parking area, I would like to see reference to this brick edge, measurements on each of the lines, and an outline of the my 'retained property', on the plan. Do you think this is a reasonable expectation?

Modifiedplan.jpg (see above) is my crude modification of the plan. The brick edge runs from A to B to C to D. (Ideally there would be measurements between each pair of letters.) The green line outlines the southeastern part of my retained property.

Attached is the plan from the solicitor in unmodified form in case my links don't work.

Tim - too vague if that's the exact plan being prepared. See our PG 40 supplement 2 section 5 for guidance on the quality of plan needed

Thanks for the swift and clear response, Adam. I'll point this out to the solicitor.
