Coburns accepts boundary instructions in Tamworth and Lichfield. 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.
A corner plot can involve more than one disputed line
If a Tamworth or Lichfield disagreement concerns a corner plot, define which length of boundary is actually disputed. A fence beside the road, a side access and a rear garden division may have different documentary histories. Treating them as one continuous ownership question can lead to measurements being taken from the wrong starting point.
Useful evidence for this type of instruction
- Mark the specific disputed section on a copy plan.
- Record road-facing features separately from the rear boundary.
- Identify any access rights or restrictions affecting the strip in question.
Local records to consider
Use the council record route matching the property’s address. When searching old applications, include plans for both road frontages and note whether the drawing shows an existing layout or a proposed change.
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.

Will checking the boundary also resolve a right of access?
A boundary investigation can identify relevant evidence, but a right of way is a distinct property right. It may require a separate legal assessment.
