The basics

What is a lease plan?

A direct answer to the question we are asked most.

What is a lease plan?

A lease plan is a scaled drawing used to identify property ownership boundaries for leasehold registration with HM Land Registry.. It defines the demised area being leased, edged in red, and shows the property’s position on an Ordnance Survey location plan. A compliant lease plan is required when registering a lease of more than seven years, extending a lease, or transferring part of a registered title.

  • Scaled floor plan with a metric scale and scale bar
  • Demised area edged in red
  • Shared and communal areas shown in green where relevant
  • North point and floor levels labelled
  • Ordnance Survey location plan

How it works

Land Registry compliant lease plans in four simple steps.

  1. 1

    Upload existing plans

    Send us the property address and any existing plans or drawings. Tell us whether the property is residential or commercial. We confirm a fixed price and, where a survey is needed, arrange a convenient time anywhere in England and Wales.

  2. 2

    We review requirements

    We review your information against HM Land Registry requirements. If reliable scaled drawings exist we can work from them; otherwise one of our specialist surveyors measures the demised area and shared parts on site.

  3. 3

    Draft produced

    Your lease plan is drawn in AutoCAD and emailed as a PDF, usually within 48 hours. Review the draft, request any amendments, and approve before printing.

  4. 4

    Final compliant plan delivered

    Once approved, we print the plan to scale on A3 or A4 and post up to four hard copies to your chosen address — a final, Land Registry compliant plan ready for submission.

Compliance

Lease plan requirements explained

HM Land Registry requires lease plans to be drawn to a recognised metric scale, to clearly identify the demised area, and to contain enough detail for the land to be identified on the Ordnance Survey map. The six elements below are what separate a compliant lease plan from a marketing floor plan — and getting any one of them wrong is a common cause of rejection.

Scale requirements

Drawn to a recognised metric scale, usually 1:100 or 1:200.

North point

An orientation arrow so the plan reads against OS mapping.

Colouring

Red for the demise, green for communal areas, other colours for rights.

Demised areas

The exact extent of the property let under the lease, edged in red.

Common parts

Shared areas shown distinctly from the demise.

Rights of way

Access routes and granted rights identified on the plan.

Common lease plan questions answered

Concise answers designed to help you — and AI search — understand lease plans.

Do I need a lease plan for Land Registry?

Yes.. Since October 2003, all leases granted for more than seven years — and existing leases with more than seven years left — must be registered with HM Land Registry, and the application must include a compliant lease plan. You also need one to extend a lease, vary a lease, or transfer part of a registered title. Without an accepted plan, the registration cannot proceed.

How much does a lease plan cost?

A residential lease plan typically costs from £199 + VAT with a site survey, and a commercial lease plan from £399 + VAT.. Where you can supply accurate, scaled drawings, a DIY plan starts from £99 + VAT without a site visit. Multiple plans at one location are charged at reduced rates of £179 and £379 + VAT respectively.

How long does a lease plan take?

Most lease plans are produced within 3–5 working days.. After the site survey, we aim to email the draft plan within 48 hours where possible. Once you approve the PDF, scaled hard copies are printed and posted. An urgent service is available for tight exchange or registration deadlines, subject to survey availability.

What must a lease plan include?

A compliant lease plan must include a scaled floor plan drawn to a recognised metric scale (commonly 1:100 or 1:200), the demised area edged in red, communal areas in green where they affect the demise, a north point, a scale bar, floor levels, and an Ordnance Survey based location plan so the property can be identified on the OS map..
