Customer Reviews

Thank you for the update and for sharing this feedback — it’s really helpful. We use the official HM Land Registry (HMLR) INSPIRE Index Polygon dataset. This is the publicly available dataset that HMLR provides for general boundaries. Nearly all boundaries in the UK are general boundaries, rather than definitive legal boundaries. This is why they can sometimes differ from measurements shown on older deeds (older deeds often rely on historic surveying methods, approximate dimensions, or different reference points).

Thank you for your review, we are glad the GPS Boundary report served its purpose well.

I’m glad we could help! If you ever need centimetre-level accuracy to locate boundary markers that are completely lost or buried, we recommend a homeowner-friendly GNSS receiver: https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/buy-a-gnss-receiver

We’re sorry to hear about this. Fence covenants and T-marks appear in HM Land Registry (HMLR) documents rather than in the GPS boundary report. These indicate who is responsible for maintaining a fence (they do not define the legal boundary itself). Unfortunately, many of these details were lost when original deeds were transferred into the central Land Register between 1925 and 1990. We therefore recommend searching HMLR historic documents for both your property and your neighbour’s. These may include older deeds, transfer plans or conveyance documents. Please note that success is not guaranteed — the content of these historic records varies and we cannot confirm in advance what information they contain.

Thank you for your positive comment, we try our best to deliver a helpful server and are especially proud of the many added features included in the GPS boundary report.

I am sorry to hear that you thought that fence ownership was in the boundary report and not in HMLR documents. Fence ownership is one of the most common questions we get, this is why we try to make it clear that fence ownership may be found in HMLR documents, especially the HMLR HISTORIC documents section. We have multiple pages and videos explaining this including: https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/which-fence-is-mine https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/where-are-my-t-marks https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/fence-ownership-problem https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/fence-disputes-guide https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/fence-ownership-guide and https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/general-boundaries

Thank you, we are glad the GPS boundary report helped.

Thank you for the response, we do offer party wall agreement templates & party wall information on this page - https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/party-wall-agreement - https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/party-wall-agreement/

Thank you for your kind words, nearly all property boundaries in the UK are general boundaries. You can read more about it here: https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/general-boundaries

Thankyou, if you need any help let us know.

Thank you for the kind words, and for choosing BoundaryFinder — great to hear the reports were useful. One thing worth noting: BoundaryFinder uses HMLR INSPIRE Index Polygons, which show the registered general boundary position — the same dataset that underpins the official HMLR title register. We always recommend verifying the title plan directly through HMLR and involving a chartered surveyor or solicitor where the boundary position is material to a commercial decision. Hope to be useful again on future projects!

Thank you so much for your review! We're really pleased the report helped confirm your boundary and gave you the confidence to take action. It's exactly the kind of clarity we set out to provide. Good luck protecting your ditch — you have every right to do so! 😊

Hi, Thank you for your email. Fence ownership is one of the most common questions we get, and it's completely understandable to expect the boundary report to answer it directly. Here's the distinction: the GPS report shows you the precise location of your registered general boundary on the ground — the GPS coordinates of each boundary corner, the distances between them, and where those lines fall on a satellite map. Knowing exactly where the legal boundary is happens to be the essential first step for any fence or boundary issue, as it establishes what ground each party is responsible for. Fence ownership, however, is a separate question — and a surprisingly complicated one. It isn't held by HM Land Registry as a standard data field. Instead, it's determined by T-marks on individual title deeds, which are only present if a solicitor recorded them during a historic conveyancing. Many older properties simply don't have T-marks at all. Even when they do exist, they're buried inside the title register documents rather than the boundary data. We provide a free 'boundary & fence ownership' guide with every purchase to describe how best to resolve fence owner but the following pages are also useful. - General boundaries explained — what "general boundary" actually means in English law, and why the boundary on the ground can differ from the register: https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/general-boundaries - Fence ownership problems — a practical guide to common scenarios, how T-marks work, and what to do if your neighbour disputes the fence line: https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/fence-ownership-problem - Fencing conventions — the traditional (but legally non-binding) rules about which side of the fence you own, and how courts actually decide: https://boundaryfinder.co.uk/fencing-conventions

Thank you for the kind words — glad the report was exactly what you needed! Great point about the receipt. we have sent you your receipt separately and resolved the issue permanently.
