Request a highway extents (boundary) search for property or land

When purchasing a property or land, your solicitor will request a highway extents search to mark the boundaries.

A standard highway extents search will identify:

  • information on the property or lands relationship to public highways
  • where a property is next to or shares a boundary with a publicly maintainable highway
  • if there is any intervening land between property and public highway
  • a plan showing the extent of highways and adopted roads in relation to the property

You can request a standard search online.

You can pay for additional questions if you require more information regarding the extents. There is a charge for each question and plan.
