Coburns accepts boundary instructions in Esher and Weybridge. Start with the two property addresses, the disputed section and the evidence you already hold. Site attendance is arranged by agreement, subject to the instruction and access.
Resolve a disputed strip before redevelopment
For an Esher or Weybridge instruction linked to rebuilding or a substantial extension, a small disputed strip can have practical consequences for the design. Define the ownership question before demolition removes the existing references. The boundary investigation should make clear what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain and whether a joint binding instruction is realistic.
Useful evidence for this type of instruction
- Supply drawings of the existing building before demolition.
- Mark the proposed footprint and the exact disputed strip.
- Keep the relevant title documents and any earlier boundary agreement.
Local records to consider
Elmbridge Borough Council’s record-search route can help locate previous building layouts. These records are particularly useful for comparing successive redevelopment proposals, while ownership must still be assessed from the appropriate evidence.
Council planning drawings can help explain past layouts. They do not determine the legal boundary or replace title evidence. The correct council depends on the actual property address, and older documents may need to be requested.

A preliminary assessment of the key evidence and a proportionate next step: £400 + VAT desktop only, or £750 + VAT with a site visit.

Private joint expert: binding determination
Both parties appoint one independent expert and agree in writing to accept the determination. £1,800–£2,400 + VAT total, approximately £900–£1,200 + VAT each on an equal split. Scope and fees are confirmed before instruction.
Can both neighbours use one expert before construction starts?
Yes, if they agree the scope. A determination becomes binding under an express agreement to accept the expert’s decision, rather than simply because a report is jointly paid for.
