Land Registry Map for New Ross Properties in County Wexford

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

Seeing a quayside or riverside extent
Where a New Ross property runs to the Barrow, the map shows the registered edge as surveyed, not the river's line.
A quayside edge on the plan is not the present waterline.

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 New Ross 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.

New Ross is a port town on the River Barrow in south Wexford, and its title plans reflect a steep medieval core and a working quayside.

The old streets climb steeply from the quays, so the registered extents in the core are old, small and closely packed on sloping ground, and the map shows one plot against its neighbours in a pattern a street address cannot convey. The quayside carries its own parcels, and later housing spreads inland into more regular plots. Where a property runs to the Barrow, the registered extent is mapped to the edge as the survey found it, not the line of the water.

Registration in County Wexford has a long history and most town property here carries a folio, so a Land Registry Map usually finds a title plan to copy. Where it does, the plan shows the extent as the survey found it, against the surrounding Ordnance Survey framework.

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 New Ross 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.

A Land Registry Map shows the registered extent of a New Ross 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. Where the Barrow edge now lies, the exact line of a boundary in the old core, 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 New Ross 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.
