Clear, Accurate Plans You Can Rely On

When it comes to property leases, clarity is everything. A professionally prepared lease plan clearly defines the exact area included within a lease, removing uncertainty for landlords, tenants, solicitors, and lenders.

At Draftbase, we produce precise, Land Registry–compliant lease plans that accurately illustrate demised areas, shared spaces, and external land. Our plans help prevent delays, reduce legal risk, and keep your transaction moving smoothly.

What Is a Lease Plan?

A lease plan is a scaled drawing that visually defines the part of a property included within a lease agreement. It clearly shows:

• The boundaries of the leased (demised) area

• Any communal or shared spaces

• Associated external areas such as gardens, parking spaces, or access paths

Lease plans are commonly required when granting or transferring long leases and must meet strict Land Registry standards to be accepted.

When Do You Need a Lease Plan?

A Land Registry–compliant lease plan is typically required in the following situations:

• Granting a new lease of 7 years or more

• Selling a leasehold property with 7+ years remaining

• Splitting a freehold title into multiple leasehold units

• Altering an existing demise (e.g. loft conversions, basement flats, extensions)

• Selling part of a registered or unregistered title

Incorrect or unclear plans are a common cause of Land Registry rejections, resulting in avoidable delays and extra costs.

All lease plans must comply with HM Land Registry guidance. Our plans are prepared to meet these requirements in full.
