Selling a home involves several important steps, and one crucial aspect that often comes into play is the need for a Land Registry Compliant Map as part of the property folio and title. If a map does not exist or can not be located, you may be requested to provide on by the buyer's solicitor.
Throughout the process, this map can also be referred to as a "folio map" or "boundary map", but they are all the same thing.
Why is a Land Registry Map necessary?
Legal Requirement: When registering a property for the first time with the PRA, a Land Registry Compliant Map is required. This map accurately defines the property's boundaries, ensuring it is properly documented in the national land registry.
Without it, the sale process might face unnecessary delays or complications.
Clarity and Precision: A Land Registry Compliant map provides a clear and precise representation of your property's boundaries and includes some elements like rights of way. This is essential for legal and administrative purposes, helping to prevent future disputes over property boundaries. It ensures that everyone involved in the transaction has a shared understanding of the property's extent.
Mortgage Approval: If your buyer is seeking a mortgage, their solicitor will often require a Land Registry Compliant Map to ensure the title of the property is in order for the bank. This helps the lender ensure that the property being financed is accurately represented, reducing their risk and facilitating the approval process.
Having a Land Registry Compliant Map as part of the property's folio produced is not just a legal formality; it’s a vital tool that supports a smooth, transparent, and successful property transaction. Whether it's ensuring legal compliance, facilitating the sale, or providing peace of mind, this map plays an essential role in the home selling process.
