Officially certified copy of the registered title plan
Nenagh Certified Map - Official Certified Title Plan
Quick Answer
A Certified Map is an officially certified copy of the registered title plan, showing the registered extent of a Nenagh property under official certification, and it is supplied together with the Certified Folio. Order it where somebody official has to rely on the plan. It certifies that the copy is true to the register at its date of issue; it does not make the mapped line conclusive.
Where a Nenagh matter turns on how much ground is registered – a planning application, a transfer of part, a boundary in dispute – the certified title plan is the document that proves it. It is posted as a sealed hard copy, because its standing rests on the certificate applied to it.
Supply the Nenagh 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
The title plan shows the extent of registered land as the register maps it. A Certified Map is that plan reproduced and certified under seal as a true copy at a stated date, which is what allows a planning authority, a lender or a court to act on it without verifying it themselves.
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.
That distinction matters more than usual on Nenagh ground, where the local complication is Lough Derg frontage and access rights, registered against lakeside holdings. A line drawn against water records where that water reached when the survey was made, and where the feature has since moved, the plan and the ground describe different lines. No ordinary dealing corrects the plan for it.
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 Nenagh 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
Order the Certified Map where the registered extent has to be proved to someone official – a planning application, a transfer of part, a lender, a court office. It is supplied together with the Certified Folio as a single order, so you receive the certified register entry and the certified plan together rather than having to choose between them. Order the ordinary title map where you simply want to see the extent for your own purposes and nothing is being submitted anywhere. Order the Folio Search where the question is ownership and burdens rather than extent, delivered electronically within 24 hours. And if a Nenagh address returns no folio, the property is unregistered and no title plan exists to certify.

What Information Is Included
- Certification and seal: the official certification, with the date the copy was certified
- The registered parcel: outlined and identified by its plan reference
- Folio number and county: the title the plan relates to, in the County Tipperary register
- Mapped extent: the registered land at the scale the plan is held
- Adjoining parcels: neighbouring registered land shown in context around it
- Mapped burdens: entries capable of being shown graphically, such as a mapped right of way
- Date of issue: the date the plan speaks to, which formal readers check before accepting it
- The Certified Folio: supplied with the map as one order, giving you the certified register entry – registered owner, class of title and burdens – alongside the certified plan
What Is Not Included
There are three situations where the certified plan will disappoint you, and it is better to know them in advance.
The first is a boundary argument. The plan shows the registered position, and that is useful, but general boundaries means it is evidence rather than proof. Where a Nenagh boundary is genuinely in dispute, the answer comes from the registered instruments, the physical evidence on the ground, agreement between the parties, or the courts.
The second is the terms of a registered right. The plan shows where a right runs; it does not say what it permits. The certified folio supplied with it names the burden, but the wording lives in the registered instrument, which is a separate order.
The third is unregistered property. Where no folio has ever issued, there is no title plan to certify. A folio search against the address establishes which system the title sits in, within 24 hours.
Why People Order
Certified plans for Nenagh property are ordered in a fairly narrow set of situations, and it is worth knowing which one you are in before ordering.
- Lakeshore and lakeside parcels are ordered with the plan more often than most, because the mapped edge against water rarely matches what is walked on the ground and the difference has to be evidenced rather than described.
- A transfer of part, where the ground being sold has to be defined against the existing registered parcel.
- A sale where the purchaser’s solicitor raises a query about the extent shown on the plan.
- A lender requiring certified evidence of the property being taken as security.

Order Certified MapReal World Use Cases
In practice, certified plans for Nenagh property are requested by:
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.
Executors and personal representatives: Establishing and proving the extent of a deceased person’s registered holding.
Developers and site assemblers: Confirming the registered extent of an acquisition target before committing to it.
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.
Land Registry Context
Nenagh is a north Tipperary market town beneath the Silvermines hills, close to Lough Derg, and that shapes what the registered mapping looks like. The market is built on a market town serving north Tipperary farming country and the Lough Derg lakeshore, and that shows in the volume of extent enquiries.
Anyone reading a Nenagh plan tends to meet the same two points – Lough Derg frontage and access rights, registered against lakeside holdings, and upland grazing and mineral interests on the Silvermines ground, registered separately.
The practical consequence for mapping is that a Nenagh plan often needs reading rather than glancing at. Surrounding farmland is fully registered, with lakeside property adding recent folios, so the first question is usually which registered parcel the plan relates to and whether the holding runs to more than one.
Common Mistakes
Treating the mapped line as the legal boundary – the most frequent error, and the reason many Nenagh boundary discussions start from the wrong premise
Assuming a printed screenshot will be accepted – planning authorities and court offices ask for the certified version specifically
Ordering the plan when the question is ownership – that is the folio, not the map
Overlooking that a holding runs to several parcels – common on rural and multi-parcel titles
Measuring off the plan – it is not drawn to be scaled for legal purposes
Expecting to see the wording of a right of way – the plan shows where it runs, the instrument says what it permits
Relying on a plan issued years earlier – the certificate speaks to its date of issue
One order, two certified documents: the Nenagh title plan and the certified register entry.

Turnaround & Delivery
Delivery is by post within 15 working days, and the Certified Folio is supplied alongside the map as one order. Because certification is applied to a physical document under seal, there is no electronic alternative – a scan of a certified map is simply a scan, and formal readers treat it as such.
Two things are worth doing if time is short. Order early, because 15 working days is roughly three calendar weeks. And order a Folio Search at the same time: it arrives electronically within 24 hours and answers ownership and burdens straight away.
Fast track delivery is available at an additional charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Certified Map for a Nenagh 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 Nenagh 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 Nenagh 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.
Where does the map draw the lakeshore boundary?
At the surveyed water line. Levels vary seasonally and over the longer term, so the mapped edge and the water’s present position frequently differ - a general boundaries point rather than a mapping error.
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 Nenagh 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.
