Frequently Asked Questions
What properties are covered?
We cover all registered freehold properties in England & Wales — over 26 million titles. Leasehold properties (mainly flats and apartments) are not currently included in the INSPIRE dataset we use.
How accurate are the boundary coordinates?
The coordinates are derived from HM Land Registry INSPIRE Index Polygons, transformed using the OSTN15 NTv2 grid. Coordinate precision is typically ±0.5–2 metres depending on the age and scale of the original survey.
On the legal status of the boundary: under Section 60 of the Land Registration Act 2002, almost all registered boundaries in England & Wales are general boundaries — this is the national standard that applies to every property, not a limitation of this report. INSPIRE Index Polygons are the official published record of those general boundary positions and are the same dataset used across the conveyancing, mapping, and property industry.
- Physical features on the ground (walls, fences, hedges) define the practical boundary day-to-day
- If you need a formally determined boundary — for a legal opinion or dispute — a RICS-chartered boundary surveyor can provide that
Do I need to create an account?
No. We use guest checkout via Stripe. You pay securely and receive your report by email. No account, no password, no login needed.
How much does a report cost?
A full property boundary report costs £24.95. This includes the satellite boundary map, GPS coordinates, building coverage analysis, elevation profile, and title information.
How quickly do I receive my report?
Reports are generated automatically and emailed to you within a few minutes of payment.
Does the report include owner names?
Not currently. Owner information costs £7 per title from HM Land Registry. Our basic report uses free open data only. A premium tier with ownership data is planned for the future.
Can I use this for a boundary dispute?
Yes — the report gives you documentary evidence of the registered general boundary position as published by HM Land Registry. You can use it to illustrate the registered extent to a neighbour, solicitor, or mediator, and it can be submitted as a documentary exhibit in formal proceedings.
For a dispute that reaches the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) or court, think of it as Exhibit A — showing the registered title extent. A RICS-chartered boundary surveyor acting as an expert witness provides Exhibit B — their professional opinion on exactly where the legal line falls on the ground, drawing on physical features, historical maps, and deeds. Both can go before the tribunal together.
What the report alone cannot do is substitute for that expert determination.
Can I submit my BoundaryFinder report to a tribunal or court?
Yes. The report is based on HM Land Registry INSPIRE Index Polygons — the official published source of registered boundary positions for England and Wales, used across the conveyancing and mapping industry. It can be submitted as documentary evidence of the registered general boundary position in the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), county court proceedings, or RICS mediation.
What it cannot do on its own is provide an expert determination of exactly where the legal boundary line falls on the ground. Under CPR Part 35, that requires a RICS-accredited chartered boundary surveyor acting as an expert witness. The BoundaryFinder report supports that process as a factual exhibit — it does not replace it.
What about elevation data?
We use Environment Agency LiDAR data at 1-metre resolution. This covers approximately 75% of England. If your property is in an area without LiDAR coverage, the elevation section will note this.
