Property boundary diagram wrong!!!

[HairLoss2]

I am buying a repossessed property through an estate agent and my solicitor has just sent me a copy of the boundary plans. I am a bit alarmed that she has sent me this as they are totally wrong and do not match what the estate agent has put on their website and showed me during the viewings.

The house is a typical Victorian terrace with a small garden at the front, and a small courtyard at the back. Behind the house is an alley and on the other side of the alley is a garage and garden I was told belonged to the house.

The boundary plan I have been sent only outlines the house. It omits both the front garden and the back courtyard and omits the garage and garden on the other side of the alley.

Surely my solicitor is paid to protect me from any sharp practices or administrative mistakes so why am I in receipt of a boundary plan that is so inaccurate?

Because the house is repossessed it is being bought as seen but the boundary plan suggests to me that no proper title deeds have been presented. The property is unregistered.

Does anyone have any explanation as to how the boundary plan could be so wrong and what would be the best course of action from here?

Best course of action is to discuss the matter with your solicitor.

The property diagrams on title deed come from Land Registry, that is the final description of what you will own.

If the entire property the way it is currently held is fenced and public access is restricted you might be able to take it over under "adverse possession" laws.

Land Registry diagrams are only indicative and are often inaccurate.
The boundaries can be determined, but first talk to your solicitor*
