detailed plan

[DamienHigh]

i am just wondering how i obtain a plan with measurments of my house. I am also wondering would it contain sizes for my garden. can i obtain these on the internet or do i apply else where. thanks

Unless your house is a new build and you can contact the developer you are going to need to get a professional in to measure up and draw the plans up for you............

You can buy Ordnance Survey extracts showing your property and garden over the internet, but the largest scale is about 1/200 which may not be of much use to you........

An Architectural Technologist would be able to help.

Where in the country are you /

yes you can, you can get a plan, you can get a plan from the man!

haven't you got a tape?

The only thing you'll find online is the title plan (�3) and the title register (also �3) for your property. They don't provide a great deal of detail. For example, this is what a title plan looks like:

and here's an example of a title register:

They're probably of no use to you but, if you're interested in buying them, go here:

If the house has been built (or modified) since the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 came into effect (or even if a planning application was submitted for changes which never came about), your local council will have copies of the planning applications, which will probably include plans which are far more detailed than the title plan. Unless you live in an area covered by a unitary or metropolitan authority, it's the district council (and not the county council) which will hold the planning applications.

Records of planning applications aren't available online but they're freely available to anyone who calls at the relevant council office. (You don't need an appointment and there's no fee to be paid for inspecting the documents. However, expect to pay some substantial charges - possibly several pounds per page - if you require any photocopies).

With all respect to the lovely Chris, be careful about the title plan as there are limitations and they don't go on exact measurements etc... (it would take them far too long if they were to get a proper survey of each property).

Practice Guide here which should give you more info on LR plans...

Sorry, just seen you're from Scotland!

Their Land Registry is here...

I'd have a check on old title deeds if you have any as it was common on old transfer documents for a property to be described by its size with meaurements and there were often plans with measurements as well.

You might have to go back a bit, especially if the land has stayed the same dimensionally as once a description has been made and plan done, further transfers just tend to refer to that document unless there have been any changes.

Are you asking because you think that your garden should actually be bigger or smaller than it is?
