Land Registry Map for Blanchardstown Properties in County Dublin

Checking the registered extent before buying
Seeing what the title plan records as the extent of a Blanchardstown property, before an offer, is the ordinary first use of the map.

Seeing a modern estate plot
A recently built Blanchardstown estate plot is mapped closely, and the plan shows the registered extent against the neighbouring plots.
A new estate plot is closely and recently mapped.

Understanding a mapped right of way
Where a right of way is shown graphically on the plan, the map lets you see where it runs, though its terms are read from the instrument.

Seeing how a boundary relates to a neighbour
The map shows the registered parcel against the adjoining ones, which is where a boundary question usually starts.

Preparing to sell
Owners view the title plan before listing to confirm the registered extent matches what they believe they are selling.

Confirming the plan reference for a folio
The map ties the folio to the ground by its plan reference, which later orders rely on.

Deciding whether a certified plan is needed
Seeing the ordinary map first shows whether a certified copy under seal is the document actually required.

Recording the extent before works or a division
An electronic copy of the plan captures what the register showed before anything changes.

Checking adjoining or recently divided parcels
Where a plot has been split, the map shows how the registered parcels now sit against each other.

Deciding whether a certified copy is needed
Seeing what the title plan shows for a Blanchardstown property first is the cheapest way to decide whether an ordinary map is enough or a certified plan under seal is the document actually required.

Recording the position before something changes
Where works, a sale or a division are in prospect, an electronic copy of the registered plan shows what the register recorded beforehand, which is frequently worth having later.

Blanchardstown lies in the Fingal part of west Dublin, a town whose title plans are dominated by recent estate growth around an older village.

Expansion around the shopping centre and the M50 turned a village into extensive modern housing, apartment schemes and business parks, so most plans here are of house plots and curtilages mapped closely as the estates were built, with a fringe still being developed. Around the old village and along the Tolka the boundaries derive from earlier surveys, and the register here ranges from long-standing village title to newly created residential folio.

Compulsory first registration reached County Dublin only on 1 June 2011, so some older property may still be unregistered, with no title plan to copy.

Running through all of it is the general boundaries rule. However closely the plan appears to be drawn, the register is not conclusive as to where a boundary legally falls, and the title map shows approximately where a division runs rather than fixing it. A Land Registry Map for Blanchardstown is authoritative as to the registered extent, and it is the right document for seeing and understanding that extent — but where the same plan has to be produced under seal to a planning authority, a lender or a court, the Certified Map is what carries that weight. The ordinary map is for information; the certified one is for proof, and knowing which a given situation needs is frequently the most useful thing the map settles. Ordering the ordinary map first, rather than a certified plan by default, keeps the cost proportionate to the question — and where the certified plan does turn out to be needed, the map has already shown exactly what it will contain. Ordered from an address and delivered electronically, it is the quickest and cheapest way to see the registered extent before deciding anything further.

A Land Registry Map shows the registered extent of a Blanchardstown property as the register records it, for information. It does not certify the plan under seal, which needs the Certified Map; fix the exact boundary line, which the general boundaries rule places outside the register; show who owns the land or the terms of a burden, which need the folio and the instrument; or cover land that has never been registered. Whether an estate fence matches the registered line, the position of a shared access, and planning history all fall outside what the map records.

Delivery time:

The Land Registry Map is supplied as an electronic copy, sent to the email address you provide, so nothing waits on the post. Each map is checked against the property you described before it is sent out.

Where a Blanchardstown property cannot be identified from the details supplied, or the land proves to be unregistered so that no title plan exists, we contact you rather than sending something that does not answer your question.
