Boundary Surveys | Manchester
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.

Estimate summary
Boundary Surveys in Manchester – Why Accuracy Matters:
Manchester’s mix of Victorian terraces, dense inner-city housing, new apartment developments and former industrial land means property boundaries aren’t always clear or straightforward.
A professional boundary survey is particularly useful if you’re dealing with:
-
Unclear garden or fence lines, especially with older terraces or altered plots
-
Planning extensions, conversions or redevelopment close to neighbouring land
-
Buying or selling property, where boundary uncertainty can cause delays or legal issues
-
Shared access routes, alleys or rear boundaries, common in urban layouts
-
Neighbour disputes, where an independent survey provides clarity and confidence
Land Registry title plans are helpful, but they’re often not precise enough on their own, especially in built-up and historically developed areas like Manchester.
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.
What Are The Benefits of a Boundary Survey?
1. Avoid Legal Disputes – Clear boundary lines reduce the risk of future disagreements with neighbours or other landowners.
2. Protect Your Investment – Knowing exactly what land you own helps avoid accidentally building on land that isn’t yours.
3. Support Planning and Development – Accurate data is essential for architects, builders, and planning applications.
4. Documentation – If your dispute leads to court proceedings, documentation from our surveyors will support you

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“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.”

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.
