Record the survey and subdivision numbers in each document, along with the area and boundaries. Ask for the records connecting any changes rather than assuming different numbers mean the same land.
Connect the papers to the place you visited
You may know the plot by a layout name or a site number, while older deeds describe a larger piece of land. A reviewer needs to see how those descriptions connect. Keep the layout plan and available survey sketches with the ownership papers. If the boundary or location on the ground is uncertain, explain that separately; it may need a qualified surveyor’s help.
Use a comparison sheet
Make three columns: document, property reference and area. Copy the figures exactly, including subdivisions and units. Do not convert or round them at this stage. The purpose is to expose a difference for review, not to decide which figure is right. Include any sketch you were shown during the visit, clearly labelled as a seller’s or broker’s copy.
Checks to keep with your file
- Retain the layout plan and available survey sketches.
- Copy identifiers exactly rather than standardising them from memory.
- Flag changes in extent and boundaries across documents.
- Keep site-visit observations separate from documentary facts.
The next step
Send a short list of the conflicting references with the relevant pages. Ask what connecting record or site check would resolve the uncertainty.
Can I rely on a pin sent by the broker?
A location pin is useful for visiting the site. It does not establish the legal identity, extent or ownership of the land.
