Title and transfer plans at a glance
HM Land Registry holds an existing title plan showing the general extent of a registered title. When you make an application — a transfer of part, first registration, plot sale or title split — you must supply your own scaled application plan. We prepare these plans in AutoCAD, aligned with Ordnance Survey mapping and current Practice Guide 40 guidance.

When a new application plan is required
These applications need a newly prepared, scaled plan — not a copy of the title plan already held by HM Land Registry.
| Your situation | Application plan required |
|---|---|
| Selling or transferring part of a registered title | Transfer of part plan |
| First registration of unregistered land | First registration plan |
| New-build plot sales within a development | Plot or estate plan |
| Splitting one registered title into two or more | Title split plan |
| Combining adjoining titles into one registration | Title amalgamation plan |
| Fixing an exact legal boundary line | Determined boundary plan |
Plan types and use cases
Each plan type supports a specific HM Land Registry application.
First registration plans
Needed when unregistered land is registered for the first time, with enough surrounding Ordnance Survey detail for HM Land Registry to identify the parcel.
Get a fixed quotePlot and estate plans
Used for new-build plot sales and phased developments, with consistent scaled plans aligned to the overall site layout.
Get a fixed quoteTitle split plans
When one registered title is divided into separate titles, each new extent must be shown unambiguously on a scaled plan.
Get a fixed quoteTitle amalgamation plans
When adjoining parcels merge into a single registered title, the combined extent must be shown against the Ordnance Survey map.
Get a fixed quoteDetermined boundary plans
For applications to fix an exact legal boundary line, requiring a precise scaled plan to a higher standard of accuracy.

What makes an application plan compliant
Plans must follow HM Land Registry Practice Guide 40. Our plans are prepared in accordance with current published requirements to help reduce the risk of requisitions.
- Ordnance Survey-aligned location plan
- Clearly marked land or property extent
- Recognised metric scale and north point
- PDF draft for review and registration-ready final PDF
- Scaled printed copies where included
- Quality check against current published HM Land Registry requirements
A compliant application plan is drawn to a recognised metric scale, clearly identifies the land, shows a north point and enough surrounding detail to be located on the Ordnance Survey map. See our Land Registry plan requirements guide for full detail.

Title and transfer of part plan FAQs
An existing title plan is the map HM Land Registry already holds, showing the general extent of a registered title. A new application plan is a scaled drawing you prepare and submit with an application so the Registry can identify the land being registered or transferred. Photoplan prepares application plans; we do not issue HM Land Registry documents.
