Lease plans, title plans, transfer of part plans and boundary plans — prepared to HM Land Registry Practice Guide 40, across England and Wales.
Land Registry plans are scaled drawings submitted with applications to HM Land Registry to identify land or property. They include lease plans, title plans, transfer of part plans and boundary plans, and must be prepared to the standards in Practice Guide 40 so the land can be identified on the Ordnance Survey map.
HM Land Registry Practice Guide 40 (GOV.UK)Land Registry plans are the scaled drawings submitted with applications to HM Land Registry so that land or property can be accurately identified. The term covers several different drawing types — lease plans, title plans, transfer of part plans and boundary plans — each used for a specific kind of application, but all sharing the same core standards.
Whatever the application, the plan must be drawn to a recognised metric scale, clearly identify the land, include enough surrounding detail to be located on the Ordnance Survey map, and follow HM Land Registry Practice Guide 40. A plan that falls short is rejected by way of a requisition, delaying the transaction by weeks.
We prepare every type of Land Registry plan for solicitors, surveyors, developers, estate agents and property owners throughout England and Wales — produced in AutoCAD, quality-checked against the current guidance, and supplied as a PDF with scaled printed copies ready for submission.

A compliant Land Registry plan is drawn to a recognised metric scale, clearly identifies the land or property (with the relevant area edged in colour), shows a north point and sufficient surrounding detail to be located on the Ordnance Survey map, and avoids prohibited wording such as “for identification only”. Our full guide explains each requirement in detail.
Every plan we produce is created to meet the latest HM Land Registry guidance (Practice Guide 40), helping reduce the risk of requisitions and delays. Compliance is assessed by HM Land Registry on each application; our plans are prepared in line with current published requirements.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Concise answers to the questions we are asked most often.
A title plan is produced by HM Land Registry to show the general extent of a registered title, based on Ordnance Survey mapping.. A lease plan is prepared by a specialist to define the exact demised area of a specific lease, drawn to scale with red edging and internal detail. A lease plan is submitted with an application; a title plan is issued by the Registry.
When part of a registered title is sold or transferred, the application must include a plan showing the land being transferred, based on the current approved title plan.. A verbal description is not sufficient. We produce compliant transfer of part plans for residential and commercial titles across England and Wales.
Lease plan floor plans are typically drawn at 1:100 or 1:200, with the location plan based on Ordnance Survey mapping at around 1:1250 or 1:500 in urban areas.. The scale must be stated on the drawing and the plan must be printed at that exact scale on A3 or A4. Using "fit to page" on a home printer changes the scale and can cause rejection.
Yes.. We provide Land Registry compliant lease plans throughout England and Wales. Our surveyors cover major cities and counties nationwide, and where you can supply accurate scaled drawings we can produce a DIY plan from anywhere without a site visit. Wherever your property is, the plan is drawn to the same HM Land Registry standards.
