The first step is really to look at your conveyances over the property. Those, sometimes again, known as title deeds. On those, it can be made obvious where the line may be but again, those are only a rough guide. The most accurate way of finding out where a boundary line is, is by the instruction of a boundary surveyor. A boundary surveyor can come and attend, produce a drawing, and if that’s agreed with your neighbour, then that can be submitted to the land registry to be registered against the title of your property. But again, a boundary line is essentially a hypothetical line. It’s one that there is no hard and fast rule as to where it is, but with evidence and a look at the conveyances, and if necessary, the instruction of a boundary surveyor, it can be worked out.
