The legal definition for a property boundary is: ‘The invisible line dividing one person’s land from another’s. It does not have thickness or width and usually, but not always, falls somewhere in or along a physical boundary feature such as a wall, fence or hedge.’

Buying an older property doesn’t mean you can avoid boundary disputes. Boundary divisions can drift over time.

Using a combination of drones for boundary disputes along with Land Registry boundary data can speed the process along and make it easier to resolve.

Ownership of land and property is a very emotive issue, so disputes can escalate quickly and become very divisive.

Before going down the route of expensive legal action it’s worth considering mediation and working with the other party involved to agree a resolution. Aerial drone images of property boundaries can help at this stage.
