need to split a piece of land into 2 pieces

Not sure if this is the correct place, but can someone please give me advice. My mum has a commercial shop and a flat upstairs, how and what does she need to do the separate the two? Many thanks

Good morning,&#160;<br> I am an executor for an estate and require to split a parcel of land into two separate titles.<br> At present access in on the original property.&#160; Do I require a complete new&#160; survey to show the joint access, or can the present land registry certificate plan be amended.?<br> Thankyou&#160;

Good Morning Susan - why do you need to split the title at this stage?<br> If you are going to sell/transfer part of the title; create a new access; and grant/reserve a right (easement) to use that access then all of that would be part of any actual sale/transfer.&#160;<br> You may want a surveyor to prepare a suitable plan for the transfer or you can use the existing title plan and add the required details. But you don't split the title first.<br> <br> Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property. There can be significant consequences for any error.
