What is Included in Our Land Registry Lease Plans?
Our lease plans, trusted by London clients, explicitly detail every aspect that HM Land Registry reviews when examining a lease plan, including:
Land Use: Define multiple areas within the property and differentiate between open spaces and other features.
Ordnance Survey Location Plan: Shows a proposed building site alongside nearby roads, properties, and lands.
North Point: An indicator that shows the orientation of the property.
Levels: State each part of the property clearly, such as the first or ground floor.
Building Outlines: Outline the garages, buildings, and other significant constructions.
Boundaries: Show the exact area within the lease and extent of the premises.
You need a land registry compliant lease plan when granting a new lease of more than seven years, renewing or extending a lease through a new grant, transferring part of a property, subdividing a property, converting a building into flats, or agreeing a commercial lease.
The same lease plan requirements apply in each case, including any colours your lease refers to, so a precise property lease plan and lease plan drawing protect everyone named in it, explore our Land Registry title plans in London service.

FAQs
What scale is best for a lease plan?
The most suitable scale depends on the property layout. We can prepare plans at scales of 1:100, 1:200, or 1:500 to ensure a clear and accurate presentation.
Can you show shared and private areas separately in London?
Yes. We clearly distinguish leased spaces from communal areas such as entrances, corridors, and parking bays.
Do you create lease plans for flats and commercial units in London?
Yes. We prepare plans for apartments, houses, offices, retail units, and mixed-use buildings in London.
Why are accurate boundaries important?
Clearly defined boundaries help avoid confusion and provide a better understanding of the leased premises.
Can outdoor spaces be included on a lease plan?
Absolutely. Gardens, terraces, access routes, and parking spaces can all be identified where required.
What details help speed up the lease plan process?
Providing existing property plans, site information, or lease details can help us complete the work more efficiently.
What is the difference between a lease plan and a title plan?
A lease plan is drawn for the lease and defines the property let. A title plan is HM Land Registry’s own plan of the registered land, usually at 1:1250 in urban areas, with the land edged in red.
What happens if a lease plan does not meet Land Registry requirements?
HM Land Registry may reject the application, raise a requisition, or cancel it later if it cannot clearly identify the land on the Ordnance Survey map.
How are flats on different floors shown on a lease plan?
The extent is shown at each floor level, using separate plans if needed, and related to the building’s footprint. Intricate internal boundaries can be shown at a larger scale, such as 1:200.
