Coburns accepts boundary instructions in Hemel Hempstead and St Albans. 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.
Accurate dimensions do not remove title uncertainty
For a Hemel Hempstead or St Albans instruction with competing measurements, ask what each survey has measured and what it used as a reference. Two precise drawings can disagree because they adopt different assumed boundary lines. The useful investigation explains that assumption before comparing distances to buildings, paving or fences.
Useful evidence for this type of instruction
- Supply both surveys, including notes about their reference points.
- Identify features that were moved between survey dates.
- Explain which deed or physical feature each claimed line follows.
Local records to consider
Use Dacorum Borough Council for the Hemel Hempstead property records and St Albans City and District Council for St Albans. Check the actual local authority for the address, particularly for sites near administrative boundaries.
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.

Is the more precise survey necessarily right?
Precision in measuring a feature does not establish that the feature marks the legal boundary. The underlying evidence and assumptions still matter.
