Boundary Surveys
Devoted to producing first class Boundary Surveys to provide you with accurate and reliable measurements of your property lines.
What Is a Boundary Survey?
A boundary survey is a detailed inspection and measurement of land to determine the exact lines that define a property’s legal boundaries. It shows where one person’s land ends and another’s begins, based on legal documents, historical records, and on-site measurements.
This type of survey is especially important when buying or selling land, installing fences, resolving disputes with neighbours, or developing property.
How Much Does a Boundary Survey Cost?
Typically, the cost can be as low as £500 + VAT for a standard sized plot situated reasonably local to our offices. This price will of course increase dependant on distance, size & complexity of the site, and how urgently you need your survey.
How SolidPoint Create a Reliable Land Survey:
Our boundary surveys comprehensively identify the outline of your property, guided by the Land Registry Standards and the RICS publication titled “Specification for Surveys of Land, Buildings and Utility Services.” This ensures adherence to UK standards, providing you with peace of mind.
With this approach, our land surveyors capture information in the most optimal manner, delivering exceptional value to your project.
Why Is an Accurate Survey Important?
An accurate boundary survey ensures:
- Peace of mind – You know exactly what you own
- Smooth property transactions with clear documentation.

“SolidPoint have provided me with a great service by taking the time to understand the situation of a boundary dispute with a neighbour. They have generated a report in line with the standards set by RICS with a production of a CPR35 detailed report. This has been extremely helpful for both parties to settle an amicable solution and understanding with the facts and evidence in place to prevent future misunderstanding and confusion. The team members were extremely friendly, helpful and responsive.”

Unsure if you need a boundary survey? Here are some indicators that you do:
- You’re buying or selling a property and want legal clarity.
- A neighbour dispute has come up about a fence, wall, or shared land.
- You’re planning to build an extension, fence, or driveway near the edge of your land.
- There’s no clear documentation of your land boundaries.
Frequesntly Asked Questions (FAQ’s):
Do I need a boundary survey if I already have a fence?
Yes – fences are often not in the correct legal position. Only a professional survey can confirm your true boundary.
How long does it take to complete a boundary survey?
For a typical residential property, it usually takes 1 day including the site visit and reporting.
Can boundary surveys settle disputes with neighbours?
Yes – they provide legal, unbiased data to help resolve conflicts.
Is a boundary survey legally binding?
The plan itself isn’t a legal ruling, but it can be used as evidence in legal proceedings or with the Land Registry.
Do I face any risks if I don't get a boundary survey?
Yes. Without a boundary survey:
- You may encroach on a neighbour’s land and face legal action.
- You could be forced to remove buildings or fences built in the wrong place.
- Property values may drop if there’s disputed or unclear ownership.
- Planning applications could be delayed or rejected due to unclear land ownership.

- A detailed site plan showing accurate boundary lines.
- Measured drawings to scale.
- Notes on any boundary issues or anomalies.
