The basics

What is a lease plan?

A direct answer to the most common question we receive.

What is a Land Registry lease plan?

A Land Registry lease plan is a scaled drawing that shows the demised area of a property being leased, submitted to HM Land Registry when registering a lease of more than seven years..

  • Scaled floor plan with metric scale and scale bar
  • Demised area edged in red
  • Shared and communal areas in green where relevant
  • North point and floor levels labelled
  • Ordnance Survey location plan

Why London properties need lease plans

London has one of the highest concentrations of leasehold property in England and Wales. Flats in mansion blocks, converted terraces, mixed-use schemes and commercial units all require compliant lease plans when registering a lease of more than seven years, extending a lease, or transferring part of a registered title. HM Land Registry rejects incomplete or incorrectly scaled plans, causing costly delays to transactions. Our London-focused team produces plans designed to be accepted first time.

Residential and commercial lease plans for every type of London property.

Land Registry compliance

HM Land Registry requires lease plans to be drawn to a recognised metric scale, clearly identify the demised area, and include sufficient detail for the land to be identified on the Ordnance Survey map. Our plans are produced to these standards every time.

Demised area

The part of the property exclusively leased to the tenant. On the plan this is edged in red so HM Land Registry can see exactly what is being leased.

Communal areas

Shared parts of the building such as staircases, lobbies and corridors. These are shown in green on the lease plan where they affect the demised area or access.

North point

An orientation arrow showing which way is north. Required so the plan can be read consistently against the Ordnance Survey location plan.

Scale bar

A graphic scale bar together with the stated metric scale (commonly 1:100 or 1:200 for floor plans). Ensures the plan can be measured accurately when printed.

Red edging

The standard method for marking the demise boundary on a lease plan. The red line must follow walls and include any areas included in the lease.

Ordnance Survey plan

A location plan based on OS mapping that shows where the property sits in relation to surrounding buildings and the local area.

Ben took photos and a video of our penthouse and did an extremely good job. His photos are taken with great artistic skill and give an excellent impression of the space. By far the best property photographer we have come across — highly recommended.
