Lease Plans
What is a lease plan?
A lease plan is an accurate scaled drawing showing the exact area included in the lease, along with where the area / building sits in context with the surrounding area. Various demise types such as let space, communal space etc are demarked by a coloured boundary. It is created using CAD (Computer Aided Drawing) software.
Why do I need one?
In 2002 and 2003 new rules were introduced by the Land Registry. The Land Registration Rules 2003 states that any new lease lasting seven years or longer must be registered with the Land Registry and have a compliant lease plan.
If you are selling your property with a new lease, or if are increasing the length of your lease, or if you are extending the demise of your property (extensions etc) then you will need a new Lease plan. You may also need a lease plan if you are selling your property and the existing lease plan does not comply to the new Land Registry regulations.
