Land Registry Map for Registered Land in County Sligo

Checking the registered extent before buying
Seeing what the title plan records as the extent of County Sligo ground, before an offer, is the ordinary first use of the map.

Seeing an upland or commonage holding
A Sligo hill holding can map as a share in a larger commonage parcel, and the plan shows that rather than an exclusive field.

Seeing how a holding sits against its neighbours
The map shows the registered parcel against the adjoining ones, which is where a boundary question usually starts.

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.

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

Seeing how many parcels a holding occupies
A holding here frequently spans several folios, and the map shows how the registered parcels fit together.

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.

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 copy is needed
Seeing what the title plan shows for a property in County Sligo 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.

County Sligo carries varied title plans, from lowland pasture to drumlin and mountain.

Much of the upland and small-holding ground came onto the register through reform, so a holding is frequently small and scattered. Commonage over the Dartry and the western hills is mapped as shares in large parcels rather than as fenced fields, the drumlin country toward Leitrim produces small irregular parcels, and along the coast the registered extent is mapped to the high water mark, with the foreshore beyond State ground the plan does not cover.

The framework is national Ordnance Survey mapping generated from a digital record, but on upland and drumlin ground a boundary can follow a feature that has changed, and some older ground remains unregistered with no 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 County Sligo 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 property in County Sligo 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. The extent of a commonage share, whether unregistered ground has any plan, and the foreshore beyond the high water mark 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 property in County Sligo 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.
