    Hi all. When doing a land transfer map, the area to be transferred is usually outlined in red.. with a think line (poly line).. is this line meant to be centred on the boundary or on the outside edge of the boundary.. ?
    Thanks

    Rightly or wrongly, I always do the latter. The boundary/black line should be just visible inside the red line.

    Open to correction on that.

    Back in the day I would have "enclosed" the plot with the red line but in more recent years I have followed PRA guidelines by using the red line as the centre of the boundary.

    Even where a new boundary was being indicated we would have drawn it with a black ink line first and then outlined it in red. Nowadays its a case of using a single red line only to represent the boundary.

    same as Muffler.
    It doesn't give great accuracy simply going on the centreline of a red line, because you have to make the red line quite thick to make it stand out whereas the old approach of a fine black line with a red outline allowed for more accuracy on the black line whilst still keeping it clearly visible

    I remember it years back as 'outlined in red' although I did 'inline in red' where multiple adjoining properties were involved and I never had a query or complaint from solicitors or as it then was, Land Registry.
    I think the black line was a) to facilitate measuring the area with a planimeter and b) to have a common style when part of the area was enclosed by an OS boundary.
