Coburns accepts boundary instructions in Wimbledon and Putney. 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.
Side-return work needs a defined boundary question
For a Wimbledon or Putney instruction involving side-return work, clarify whether the disagreement concerns the line itself, proposed excavation, a party structure or access. These questions can interact, but they do not all fall within the same professional process. A focused boundary review should identify the ownership evidence without implying that it also grants permission for construction or entry.
Useful evidence for this type of instruction
- Provide the proposed excavation and wall drawings alongside the deeds.
- Keep notices and access correspondence distinct from evidence about ownership.
- Explain whether work has started and which existing features may be removed.
Local records to consider
Use Merton’s record route for the relevant Wimbledon address and Wandsworth’s for Putney. Check the actual borough for the property, and compare earlier layouts with the proposed side-return design.
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.

Can a boundary report authorise access for building work?
The report does not itself create an access right. Access and any statutory procedure need to be considered separately.
