Define Your Space with Confidence

When dealing with property leases, having a clear and precise lease plan is essential. Lease plan drawings illustrate which part of a property is included in a lease, ensuring both the landlord and tenant understand the extent of the leased space. These plans are more than just floor plans they are detailed diagrams that highlight the specific application details of each room and space within a property.

With professionally drawn lease plans, you’ll know exactly what’s included saving time, money, and potential legal issues.

What is a Lease Plan?

A lease plan is a scaled drawing that visually represents the demised area of a property included in a lease. It is typically required when a lease is being granted for seven or more years or when an existing leasehold property is being sold with seven or more years remaining.

Lease plans help define

The exact boundaries of the leased property.

Shared spaces such as communal hallways, parking, and bin areas.

External demolished areas like gardens or pathways associated with the property.

When is a Lease Plan Required?

A lease plan is required in several situations, including:

• When granting a new lease of seven or more years.
• When selling a leasehold property with at least seven years remaining.
• When splitting a property title into two or more parts.
• When a property’s demise changes, such as adding a basement flat or an extension.
• When land that is part of a registered title or previously unregistered land is being sold.
• Failing to provide an accurate and compliant lease plan can lead to application rejections from the Land Registry, causing unnecessary delays.

 Land Registry Compliance for Lease Plans

To ensure approval, lease plans must follow Land Registry guidelines. Here’s what they must include:

 

 

Preferred Scales

Floor plans should be drawn at 1:100 or 1:200.

Location plans should be scaled at 1:1250 or 1:2500.

 

 

Property Details

Clear distinction of separate areas like communal spaces and private ownership sections.

Indication of varying floor levels, if applicable.

Accuracy and Clarity

The plan must not include disclaimers like “for identification purposes only.”

If the lease plan does not meet these criteria, the Land Registry may reject the application or request amendments, causing delays.
