James and Cian, recently completed a comprehensive training course on Land Registry Compliant Mapping. This one-day course, delivered by an experienced industry professional, focused on the legal and technical requirements surrounding mapping for property conveyancing in Ireland - an essential skillset following the implementation of the Land Registration Rules in 2013.
The course offered a deep dive into the legislative context, including the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, and provided practical guidance on how to prepare maps that meet the standards set by Tailte Éireann. Topics covered included the various types of maps required for different registration scenarios, such as first registrations, multi-storey developments, and development schemes. Attendees also explored the nuances between topographical and boundary surveys, and why a detailed survey is sometimes crucial to ensure legal accuracy.
James and Cian gained valuable insights into best practices for map preparation - from understanding the importance of accuracy, scale, and reference systems to identifying common mapping errors. The course also highlighted the importance of professional competence, membership of accredited bodies, and the role of certification in ensuring high-quality, compliant mapping work.
This training not only enhances the skillsets of our staff but also strengthens our commitment to delivering professional, legally sound mapping and survey services to our clients.
