Property boundaries and plot areas • Plot area is the area of the property within its boundaries. This may be refer- enced by government agencies (such as a Land Registry, Cadastral or Local authority) measured from a horizontal plan. Plot area can then as appropriate be divided into the built area and the un-built area; 304 V. Measurement, Education and Qualifications European Valuation Standards 2020 • Built area is the part of the plot area which is covered by buildings in their fin- ished state both above and below ground; • Unbuilt area is the remaining part of the plot area which is not classified as built area. 3.1.7. Identifying external boundaries — Valuers should be careful to establish that they have an accurate understanding of the boundaries of the property. It is important to establish whether and which boundary features belong to the property and so be certain of the line of the boundary with adjacent properties. This also applies to party walls between buildings. 3.1.8. Typical issues • The area of the property as documented for the valuer may not be the correct one. Older documentation may be obsolete; • Land may, for example, have been subject to compulsory purchase or subdi- vided. Property areas may also change when boundaries alter as a result of agreements between neighbouring parties who may not always formally reg- ister their agreement; • Boundaries such as woodland edges, tree lines, hedges and rivers may not prove to be precise descriptions and can change over the years. Fences and other markers may be incorrectly placed or have been moved and consequently the GPS measurements used in preparing digital maps may not represent the true position; • Where boundaries are not precisely recorded or are in dispute, there may be local practices and interpretations which may offer presumptions for identi- fying the boundary; • Measuring boundaries — The methods for recording boundaries and measuring the areas within them have developed substantially from measuring distanc- es and angles to global positioning and electronic mapping. In each case, the measurement will only be as good as the limitations of the method used — even the global positioning systems available for commercial use work to certain tol- erances and may be affected by military or other considerations; • The internet now offers many opportunities to view property, whether from the air or the street. This can be a useful tool, perhaps especially for a preliminary or a general view. However, the pictures may be dated and the property could have changed since they were taken. There are particular problems in taking measurements from such services and these should not be relied upon; • Where working from any form of records, as for desk top valuation, the data as to measurements will only be as at the date they were recorded and will be subject not only to changes that may have occurred since but to any omissions or errors in their collection.
