Welcome to Property Boundaries Ireland

What We Do

PBI is a land surveying company that focuses specifically on property boundaries and land registration. It brings modern international best practice and mediation expertise to Irish cases to provide reliable long-term solutions.

Our Approach

We respond quickly to enquiries and work with clients that share our core values. We commit to doing the job by adopting appropriate standards and providing practical solutions. You can always rely on our support, expertise and quality of service.

Our Mission

Our goal is to supply high quality information to our clients to clarify and resolve their problems, and to register the solution with the  Property Registration Authority to improve the data in the national database of land ownership.

Why Are Property Boundaries Important?

As chartered surveyors, it is our mission to inform our clients of the importance of property boundaries. Improperly registered property boundaries can lead to unwanted stress, complicated boundary disputes or even worse expensive, lengthy court battles.

At Property Boundaries Ireland, we supply our clients with the information they need to avoid these consequences, we deal with the stress so you don’t have too.

Visit our Property Boundaries page for more information on how we determine your property boundaries and how to register them.

What Our Clients Have to Say

Jill, Westmeath

"We bought our holiday house in 2004 prior to the digitisation of the OSi and Land Registry (PRA) maps in Westmeath. For close to10 years we had no problems with our neighbours with regard to the position of our common boundary. To our astonishment the neighbour then tried to claim part of our garden using GPS co-ordinates extrapolated from their digitised LR map. It transpired that the digitised LR map of 2013 differed from their original paper LR map from 1991 with no transfer of land taking place and no change in the position on the ground of the accepted physical boundary features. The change was made in the Land Registry as a result of its mapping practices.

Paddy Prendergast co-authored many publications which we found very helpful. After studying the Green Paper of 2008 and the IPTFPB report of 2014, we ascertained that the very inaccurate digitised PRA map was produced using low resolution aerial photography. Paddy Prendergast’s support and expertise was hugely helpful in us dealing with a very unpleasant situation that was not of our making."

Claire, Donegal

Paddy, I am so grateful for everything you have done for our family thus far. Our case has been particularly challenging with our neighbours. Since availing of your service, the on the ground survey and the very thorough, detailed and precise professional report will play a pivotal role in the future proceedings of our case (disputed right of way). I thank you also for discovering and identifying a further issue of which I was not aware of,  the mistake regarding the property boundaries, your commitment and timely manner with resolving this issue with the Property Registration Authority has saved a huge amount of further time, effort, conflict and money on our behalf. I am forever grateful and I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who needs your expertise
