Key Takeaways
- Obtain a current copy of the title and its survey plan from the relevant Land Office.
- Ask a qualified surveyor to locate markers and measure the site when any line is unclear.
- Map walls, buildings, pools, drains, utilities, roads and neighbour use against the boundary.
- Investigate missing or moved markers and any structure crossing a line.
- Confirm legal access separately; physical use of a road does not by itself prove a registered right.
