Title Plans are automatically generated by our Digital Mapping System.
To facilitate the development of a fully automated production system and in order to optimise productivity the Property Registration Authority has replaced the old style ‘Filed Plan’ with the ‘Title Plan’.
The most noticeable difference between the ‘Filed Plan’ and the ‘Title Plan’ is that the system produces a much improved product. The colours still follow the traditional practice of using Red for freehold, Green for leasehold, Purple for sub-leasehold. Title Plans will be printed at the following map scales, 1/10000, 1/5000, 1/2500, 1/1000 and 1/500.

The following are the main differences between the ‘Filed Plan’ and the ‘Title Plan’:-
1. ‘Title Plan’ will be printed on an A3 sized sheet of paper regardless of map scale.
2. Details which were previously printed on the Map Certificate are now printed along the right hand column and lower section of the A3 page and will include the following details; Folio Number, Title Plan Application Number, and the Date the map was printed, North Point, Scale Bar and Map Scale (representative fraction).
3. The Map area itself will be edged by a border with the ITM co-ordinates printed at the lower left and upper right corners of the neat line.
4. Properties are no longer edged by means of thick coloured or black lines, rather the boundary itself is highlighted in the appropriate tenure type colour with a light dotted colour infill, or the property is hatched and filled if the property is subject to a leasehold or sub-leasehold burden. The Plan reference is printed in black regardless of the tenure type (Click here for examples of the Legends and Symbols).
5. Burdens Rights of Way, Wayleaves and Pipelines are not lettered on the ‘Title Plan’.
6. The automated ‘Title Plan’ production system is designed to fit each Registry plan (or number of plans if more than one plan exists on the Folio) to a single A3 page at a standard metric map scale. Sometimes this will result in the ‘Title Plan’ being printed at a smaller map scale than that published by OSi.
NOTE: Customers should be aware that smaller scale ‘Title Plan’ maps, may not be suitable for registration purposes where they are printed at 1/5000 or 1/10000 scale because the smaller scale hardcopy maps may not be large enough to accurately plot new non-OSi detail. As an alternative to ordering a ‘Title Plan’ and to ensure that customers can select a hardcopy that is suitable for registration purposes, landdirect.ie account holders may now order another new product called a ‘Special Registration Map’ (SRM) online. When using the SRM facility in www.landdirect.ie, account holders will have the facility to select the area of interest and select a suitable map scale at which they wish to print the SRM.
