WHAT IS A TITLE PLAN?
Registered under the general (physical) boundary. 1:1250-1:2500
Legal boundaries can be difficult to accurately define: they’re a reasonable interpretation of pre-existing deeds. Not definite and errors are subject to rectification.

Scale
Inaccuracy is inherent
Boundaries
Updates

TOPO is most accurate.
What is a Topo?
And accurate and scaled (into CAD) site depiction.
Includes boundaries, buildings, drainage, water channels, site COI tours.
What features can you find on realyse?
OS maps
Environmental/Historic designations

SHLAA data
Comparable value analysis
