Clarification of boundary

Inkers92

Hi,
I am considering building along the boundary and obviously want to make sure it is clear before I approach neighbours etc.

I have a couple of questions:
1. When I look at my property on the landdirect.ie website it says "boundaries and Plan area are not conclusive" - Section 62(2) of the Registration of Title Act 2006 and also Rule 8(3) of the Land Registration Rules 2012. I'm not a lawyer - can anyone tell me what these mean?

2. When I look at the map it seems to me to differ from what's on the ground. There is a fence that is in and out all over the place and nowhere near a straight line. Just from looking at it on the website it looks to me like I am losing out with what is on the ground. Which takes precedence - the map or what's there?

3. What is the best way to clarify/rectify this before I go any further with any plans to build anything.
Hope this is in the right forum.

Thanks

Cerco

You need to employ a land surveyor who will determine your boundaries. Give them your folio number(s) and they will get the maps and measure your site. For info on chartered surveyors check the SCSI website.
