Mapping

Mapping

From time to time situations may arise in which you need a site mapped or the boundaries for a site need to be surveyed, mapped and registered. This can be necessary in any of the following situations:

  • as part of the Planning Processmapping farm land
  • to solve a boundary dispute
  • to designate a new site for sale
  • to verify or correct old inadequate mapping
  • to establish a site for inheritance
  • to subdivide a farm to offer collateral to a bank
  • to remove the family home from the remaining landholding
  • to add a field you bought to the farm folio

With years of experience in providing accurate and thorough mapping with associated services, Declan Noonan & Associates have built a strong reputation for the provision of services for property definition and transfer for commercial & residential developments. 

We use the most up-to-date mapping technology and mapping software.

Our Mapping Services include:

Rights of Way
Do you use a right of way to access your land? Are you aware that under the new Land and Conveyancing Act 2009 that all rights of way have to be registered with the Land Registry or Registry of Deeds? If you have a right of way over another individual’s land, whether by deed or by long use, it is important now to take steps to insure protection of that right.

Under the new Land and Conveyancing Act, which came into effect in December 2009, the rules in respect of rights of way have changed. This act was enacted by the last government to modernise Irish Land Law and gave a three-year grace period in a bid to give people the opportunity to take the necessary steps. This three-year grace period was then extended which means that applicants for registration have until 30th November 2021 to register (instead of 30thNovember 2012 as had been the case prior to the 2011 amending legislation).

We can act as an expert witness for you in the case of a boundary dispute. We can prepare professional reports suitable for use in litigation situations. We are available to attend, and to act as a professional witness at Courts of Law. Sometimes, a Solicitor when advising their Client will require a report prepared by an Engineer or Surveyor. This report will need to be accurate, concise and independent in order to enable the Solicitor or the Counsel to best prepare their Clients case.

We aim to provide an unbiased, professional opinion in our reports. These reports are prepared in a clear and concise manner, and are supported normally with appropriate drawings and photographs.
