Officially certified copy of the registered title plan
Certified Map for Cashel Property
Quick Answer
A Certified Map is an officially certified copy of the registered title plan for a Cashel property, issued under seal. It shows the registered extent and the plan reference the folio describes in words, and the certified folio itself comes with it. Because registration operates on general boundaries, it records approximately where a division runs rather than fixing its exact legal position.
Proving the registered extent of a Cashel property takes more than a printed plan once somebody official is relying on it. The Certified Map is the title plan issued under seal, and that certified copy is what carries weight with a planning authority, a lender or a court office.
Supply the Cashel address or folio number. The certified title plan and the Certified Folio are issued together under seal and posted to you within 15 working days.

What Is This Document
A Certified Map is the sealed, certified copy of the registered title plan for a property. It shows the parcel as mapped, together with the certification that it is a true copy of the register as it stood on the date of issue.
The certificate speaks to one thing, and it is worth being precise about what. It states that this is a true copy of the registered map as at the date of issue – nothing more and nothing less. That is what allows a reader who did not obtain the document to act on it.
On Cashel property the practical question is usually what the plan covers rather than where exactly the line falls. The town core carries older stock while surrounding farmland is fully registered, so establishing which registered parcel a plan relates to – and whether the holding runs to more than one – is frequently the substantive part of the work.
A Certified Map is the document a planning authority, a solicitor, a lender or a court office will expect when a registered extent has to be proved, and for that purpose it does the job completely. What it does not do is settle an argument about precisely where a boundary lies, which is resolved through the registered instruments, the physical evidence and, where it comes to it, the courts.
It is worth being blunt about what the certificate does not do. It does not make the mapped line conclusive. Registration in Ireland operates on general boundaries: the line shows approximately where the division between two properties runs, and certifying the copy does not change that. A certified plan proves what the register maps. It does not prove where a Cashel boundary legally falls.
In practice that means the plan will tell you which parcel is registered and roughly what it covers. It will not tell you whether the wall sits on your side of the line, whether a fence was moved, or how much ground a disputed access strip amounts to. Those questions are answered by the registered instruments, the physical evidence, agreement between the parties, or ultimately the courts.
A boundary can be conclusively fixed, but that is a separate application requiring precise mapping and the agreement or notification of everyone affected, and it is uncommon. Almost every plan in use is a general boundaries plan. Knowing that before you order saves a good deal of misplaced confidence in a printed line.
Which Document Do I Need
Three questions separate the documents cleanly. Does anything – the extent, the register entry, or both – have to be proved to a third party? Then this order, which supplies the certified plan and the certified folio together. Is the question simply who owns the property or what burdens sit on it, with nothing to prove to anyone? Then the Folio Search, returned within 24 hours. Does a registered right need its wording read rather than its route seen? Then the Instrument Copy. If the Cashel address returns no folio at all, the title is unregistered and none of the above applies.

What Information Is Included
- A sealed certificate stating that the copy is true to the register at its date of issue
- The registered Cashel parcel, outlined and identified by plan reference
- The folio number and county the plan belongs to (County Tipperary)
- Adjoining registered parcels, shown so the holding can be placed in context
- Any burden capable of graphical representation, such as a defined right of way
- The scale at which the plan is held, which governs how much detail it can carry
- The date of issue, which is what a planning officer or solicitor will check first
- The Certified Folio, supplied together with the map – the certified register entry covering owner, class of title and every registered burden
What Is Not Included
The certified plan is the right document in a defined set of situations, and the wrong one in others. Ownership, charges and the names of registered burdens are answered by the certified folio supplied alongside it rather than by the plan itself. What neither document carries is the wording of a burden, which comes from the registered instrument and is ordered separately.
It will also not resolve a boundary dispute. It shows the registered position, which is often useful context in a dispute, but the general boundaries rule means the plan is evidence of what is mapped rather than proof of where the line falls. Where a Cashel boundary is genuinely contested, the plan is a starting document rather than a deciding one.
And where the property has never been registered, there is no title plan at all. Establishing that is the job of a folio search against the address, which will tell you within 24 hours whether a registered title exists.
Why People Order
Certified plans for Cashel property are ordered in a fairly narrow set of situations, and it is worth knowing which one you are in before ordering.
- Properties in protected settings face additional planning scrutiny, and applications there routinely require certified evidence of the site extent before they are validated.
- A development appraisal that needs the site area established from the register rather than estimated.
- A planning application where certified evidence of the site extent is required at validation.
- A transfer of part, where the ground being sold has to be defined against the existing registered parcel.
Only need to see the extent for your own purposes? The ordinary title map does that without certification.
Order Certified MapReal World Use Cases
The certified plan is ordered by a fairly consistent set of people in Cashel:
Lenders and valuers: Certified evidence of the property being taken as security or valued.
Surveyors and engineers: Establishing the registered position as the starting point for a measured survey.
Homeowners: Extension and alteration applications, boundary queries with a neighbour, or selling part of a garden.
Solicitors and conveyancers: Transfers of part, replies to requisitions on extent, and applications requiring certified mapping.
Architects and planning consultants: Site extent evidence for planning applications, and establishing what is registered before design work.
Farmers and landowners: Multi-parcel holdings, site transfers to family, sales of individual fields and lease arrangements.
Land Registry Context
Cashel is best described as a Tipperary town beneath the Rock, with a medieval ecclesiastical site dominating the plain. What drives the local market is a heritage tourism town serving a rich pasture hinterland, and that is where most of the mapping work comes from.
Two things complicate Cashel mapping more than most. One is protected structures and monument constraints around the Rock and the town core. The other is pasture holdings on the surrounding plain, frequently spanning several folios.
The practical consequence for mapping is that a Cashel plan often needs reading rather than glancing at. The town core carries older stock while surrounding farmland is fully registered, so the first question is usually which registered parcel the plan relates to and whether the holding runs to more than one.
Common Mistakes
Ordering the map when the folio was what was asked for – read the request wording again before you order
Believing the certificate fixes the boundary – it certifies the copy, and nothing more
Using a plan obtained during an earlier transaction – dealings since will not appear on it
Assuming a shared Cashel laneway or rear access sits inside the parcel – frequently it does not
Scaling a dimension off the drawing and relying on it – that is what a measured survey is for
Forgetting that the map does not carry planning history – that is a local authority enquiry
Ordering only one parcel where the holding covers several – check the folio first
The Certified Folio for Cashel is supplied with the map as one order - extent and register entry together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Certified Map for a Cashel property?
It is an officially certified copy of the registered title plan, issued under seal, showing the extent of the registered land. Certification means a planning authority, lender or court can rely on it as a true copy of the register as at its date of issue.
Does the Certified Map prove where my boundary is?
No, and this is the most important thing to understand about it. Ireland registers general boundaries, so the mapped line shows approximately where the division runs rather than fixing its exact legal position. The certified plan proves what the register maps - not where the boundary legally falls.
How long does a Certified Map for Cashel take?
Delivered by post within 15 working days. It is a sealed physical document, so there is no electronic version. Fast track delivery is available at an additional charge if the timeline is tight.
Can I get the Certified Map by email?
No. The certification and seal are what give the document its standing, and they only exist on the physical copy. If you need information quickly, order a Folio Search alongside it - that arrives electronically within 24 hours and covers ownership and burdens.
Do I need the folio number to order?
No. The Cashel property address is normally enough for us to identify the registered title. If you already have the folio number for the County Tipperary register, supplying it will save a step.
Does the plan show that the property is protected?
No. Protected structure status, planning conditions and conservation designations are held by the local authority, not the register. The plan shows extent only.
What is the difference between the Certified Map and the Certified Folio?
The folio is the register entry in words - registered owner, class of title and burdens. The map is the plan showing the extent of the ground. They answer different questions, and both are supplied together on this order, so you do not have to work out in advance which one the request was aimed at.
Do I get the folio as well as the map?
Yes. The Certified Folio is supplied with the Certified Map as a single order, so you receive the certified register entry for the Cashel property alongside the certified plan. Both arrive under seal, by post, within 15 working days.
Will the Certified Map show a right of way?
It shows mapped burdens where they are capable of being shown graphically, so a right of way with a defined route will usually appear. What it will not show is the wording - the terms of the right come from the registered instrument, which is a separate document.
