Land Registry Maps

When selling a property your solicitor will often ask you to obtain a Land Registry Compliant Map for First Registration purpose. A Land Registry Map is necessary for the conveyance. A Land Registry Map or Legal Map is normally prepared by a Registered Building Surveyor, and usually at point of a property sale.

What you need carried out will be dependent upon whether the title documents are registered in the Registry of Deeds (and considered unregistered), or in the Land Registry (which is considered registered). These are the two systems for registration of title in the state. Both systems are under management of the PRA (Property Registration Authority), and with an ongoing transition away from the Registry of Deeds system to the Land Registry under the PRA guidelines.

If the property is registered in the Registry of Deeds, then first registration in the Land Registry will be required. This will require that a Land Registry Compliant Map be provided as part of your solicitor applying for first registration in the Land Registry under PRA requirements.

Preparation of a Land Registry Compliant Map will require a visit to the property to confirm that the boundary indicated on the Land Registry Map reflects the actual boundary on site, so that we can then certify the map as being accurate.

We prepare Land Registry Compliant Maps that are required for First Registration of the property for sellers and solicitors in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare, Meath and surrounding counties.
