Parcel maps and boundaries: avoiding misunderstandings

A fence or visible track does not by itself prove ownership boundaries. Use parcel details to identify the plot and obtain an appropriate professional site check when needed. Buying land on a map requires understanding its physical location, neighbours and access.
Practical steps
- Request parcel identifiers and the details needed for official enquiries
- Compare area and shape, resolving differences between documents and the site
- Do not mark boundaries or start works before their position and legal status are clear
