Hi,<br> <br> I am just looking for some advice regarding preparing scale drawings for a partial transfer of some garden land. I have been referring to "HM Land Registry plans: the basis of Land Registry plans (practice guide 40, supplement 1) (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/land-registry-plans-title-plan/land-registry-plans-title-plan-practice-guide-40-supplement-5">www.gov.uk/government/publications/land-registry-plans-title-plan/land-registry-plans-title-plan-practice-guide-40-supplement-5</a>)", but I am not clear what scale should be used for plans.<br> <br> In section 5, "Title Plan Scales" it says that the scale will be 1:1250 for urban areas, but in the notes below the example in appendix 1 (section 15) it says the preferred scale is 1:500. Does that mean that if I submit a 1:500 scale drawing, HMLR will prepare their own drawing from that at 1:1250 scale? If I supply a 1:1250 scale drawing, will they just use that directly?<br> <br> I think 1:500 is clearer for my purposes although I actually have downloaded both scales, so can prepare the drawing using either.<br> <br> Many thanks for any assistance.<br> <br> Tom.

Hi Tom - you really want supplement 2 section 5 and plans for transfers of part - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preparing-plans-for-land-registry-applications">Preparing plans for HM Land Registry applications (PG40s2) - GOV.UK</a><br> If the plan you provide is suitable then we will prepare a title plan as the guidance you refer to explains
