Obsurvus as an Expert Witness
Legal Boundaries
A boundary is an imaginary line which marks the confines of division of two contiguous parcels of land. The term is also used to denote physical objects by reference to which the line of division is described as well as the division of the line its self.
Halsbury’s Laws of England
In practical terms, the boundary or extent of a parcel of land may be regarded as the limit up to and not beyond which the rights and obligations of ownership extend. This limit is a surface rather than a line and may be at any angle, horizontal, vertical or an inclined plane. The limit may be abstract but it isn’t imaginary.
Natural Boundaries
Natural boundaries are defined by natural features and as such can be subject to change over time. Examples include, a median high tide mark, centre line of vegetation, a line of trees, the centre of a river etc.
General Boundaries
The line of a boundary displayed on Ordnance Survey background map serves as a guide. Legal presumptions of ownership are followed if there is no explanation elsewhere in the deeds. The general boundaries rule was introduced to permit the registration of land without a detailed topographic survey or in depth descriptions of boundary features.
Dotted lines indicate the boundary does not represent a physical feature. Such boundaries may be displayed on housing estates with open plan front gardens.
It is common for boundary ownership to be indicated by T marks. This indicates the party responsible for boundary maintenance. Caution must be exercised and ownership must not be assumed where T marks exist.
