What is the purpose of the title plan?

• A. It shows the location, general boundaries, access, and potential searches
• B. It is only for decorative mapping
• C. It registers the title
• D. It substitutes for a conveyancing search

Answer: (A)

The main function of the title plan is to provide a visual map of the land in the title, showing where the property sits, its general boundaries, and how to access it. It helps the buyer and lender understand what is included in the title and how the land relates to neighbouring plots. The plan may also indicate features or rights that could affect the title—such as a road, driveway, boundary lines with neighbours, or an easement—so you can assess what searches or investigations might be needed. It is not decorative, it does not register the title with the Land Registry, and it cannot replace a conveyancing search.
