Land Registry Map for Registered Land in County Tipperary

A Land Registry Map shows the registered extent of a property in County Tipperary as the register records it, for information. It does not certify the plan under seal, which needs the Certified Map; fix the exact boundary line, which the general boundaries rule places outside the register; show who owns the land or the terms of a burden, which need the folio and the instrument; or cover land that has never been registered. Whether an old field boundary still matches the registered line, the extent of a hill commonage share, and planning history all fall outside what the map records.

Tipperary plans repay a careful reading. The place is a large inland county running from the Golden Vale through to the Shannon, historically administered as two separate ridings, and what is registered here is largely dairy and tillage farms, market-town stock, and substantial period houses on former estate land.

The former North and South Riding divisions still show in older folio references and deeds indexes, 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 rather than a preliminary to it.

Two features affect Tipperary boundaries in particular. The first is large multi-parcel dairy holdings, where entitlements, leases and roadways are registered separately. The second is former estate and demesne land, where old boundaries and rights of way survive on the register. Because registration operates on general boundaries, the plan records these approximately; it does not resolve them.

The upland fringes – the Galtees, the Knockmealdowns, Slievenamon – bring some commonage and hill grazing into an otherwise lowland register, mapped as shares in larger parcels, and a holding described as one farm frequently maps as several parcels.

Running through all of it is the general boundaries rule. However closely the plan appears to be drawn, the register is not conclusive as to where a boundary legally falls, and the title map shows approximately where a division runs rather than fixing it. A Land Registry Map for County Tipperary is authoritative as to the registered extent, and it is the right document for seeing and understanding that extent – but where the same plan has to be produced under seal to a planning authority, a lender or a court, the Certified Map is what carries that weight. The ordinary map is for information; the certified one is for proof, and knowing which a given situation needs is frequently the most useful thing the map settles. Ordering the ordinary map first, rather than a certified plan by default, keeps the cost proportionate to the question – and where the certified plan does turn out to be needed, the map has already shown exactly what it will contain. Ordered from an address and delivered electronically, it is the quickest and cheapest way to see the registered extent before deciding anything further.
