Land Registry Mapping

Forget the guesswork of old-school surveyors who still rely on measuring tapes, scale rulers, and marking up paper maps with pens.

At Babington Design, we replace outdated hand-measurements with precision digital engineering. Boundaries are captured using Trimble GPS equipment and mapped digitally using GIS software. This process ensures high accuracy and reduces mapping and surveying errors.

Compliant Maps We Prepare

We provide precision digital mapping for all formal legal requirements:

• First Registration Maps – For unregistered land or properties being registered for the first time.

• First Registration Maps for Apartments – Detailed multi-level layouts meeting specific apartment guidelines.

• Transfer Maps – Accurate subdivision plans for splitting folios, selling sites, or gifting land plots.

• Boundary Amendment Maps – To officially correct, adjust, or update existing registry boundaries.

Our Process

• 1. Site Survey
  We visit the site and capture the boundary data using Trimble GPS surveying equipment.

• 2. Data Import
  We import the survey data directly into our GIS software.

• 3. OS Map Layering
  We purchase a digital, Land Registry compliant OS map and import it into the GIS software. Both the survey data and the OS map are aligned using Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) coordinates, allowing them to layer over each other perfectly.

• 4. Precise Plotting
  The boundary is then plotted or altered within the software with a high degree of accuracy.

• 5. Final Delivery
  Completed, professional maps are printed and delivered directly to your solicitor.

Why Modern GPS Mapping Matters

• No Tapes or Rulers
  Traditional tools create compounding errors over long distances. Older methods measured new boundaries off existing markers that were only assumed to be correct, but often were not.

• No Ink on Paper
  Hand-marked pen lines are thick and blurry, directly encouraging mapping errors during the registration process.

• Satellite Precision
  Digital GPS coordinates leave no room for boundary disputes.

• Faster Approvals
  Clean, error-free data moves through the registry process quickly.
