3. Disclaimer:1. Reasonable care has been exercised in the compilation of the information available through this Website. However, apart from the records
provided through the landdirect.ie service (folios, filed plans, indices) which are subject to the provisions of the Registration of Deeds and Title
Act 1964 & 2006, there is no representation or warranty made as to the accuracy, completeness or currency of such information.
The use of any such information, which may be altered or updated at any time without notice, is at the sole risk of the user.

should be aware that the information will be current as of the close of business the previous day.
3. Persons accessing folio records through landdirect.ie after official business hours (currently 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Monday to Friday)
should be aware that the information will be current as of the close of business on that day.

5. No responsibility shall arise for any error, corruption of data or any amendment of information transmitted, which occurs at any time
during or subsequent to transmission from the Land Registry host system6.Seedpoints displayed on the Land Registry map are intended to indicate the general location of registered plots and are provided to assist customers to locate the particular folio details or object of their search. These details should be confirmed by inspection of the folio itself. Seedpoints do not indicate the extent or location of registered boundaries. Until boundary detail for each county is digitised, boundaries for registered property can be ascertained by inspection of the Filed Plan, where one exists. Alternatively, an inspection of the Land Registry map may be conducted.In some instances, seedpoints may not be co-incident with the revised ITM vector data published by OSi. Additionally, in a
small number of cases, the link between a seedpoint and its corresponding folio may not yet have been established. These items are being
addressed as part of the overall Land Registry digital mapping programme.
4.Use oflanddirect.ieFiled Plans:
1.Images of Land Registry paper Filed Plans (Imaged Filed Plans) made available through this website are electronic copies of paper
documents retained in the offices of the Land Registry and are offered for information and inspection purposes only to assist in the general
identificationof the property in question and for no other purpose. Imaged Filed Plans greater than A3 in size will be displayed as a series
of tiled images.
2.Imaged Filed Plans may be printed by you for your convenience. Control over the printing of images of folios and filed plans is determined
by the user's printer and no responsibility shall arise in respect of the quality of such printed output. Printouts of Filed Plans from your printer
are not to scale nor dimensionally accurate.
3.Imaged Filed Plans are being gradually superseded by Filed Plans derived from new Land Registry digital maps (ITM Filed Plans).
The latter will be implemented on a county-by-county basis over a five year period commencing in May 2006. Details of this programme,
including progress reports, will be published at What's Planned
4.ITM Filed Planswill be issued by the Land Registry in hard copy format based on the scales published by OSi (1/5000, 1/2500 and 1/1000). Consequently, some areas that were formerly covered by 1/2500 scale OSi mapping may now only be covered by 1/5000 scale OSi mapping.
5.Smaller sites/land parcels (up to 0.202 hectares) may be difficult to mark clearly on paper maps at the 1/5000 scale in particular.
If customers find that the ITM Filed Plan at 1/5000 scale map is too small to mark their boundaries on hard copy, they will be able to
request an ITM map from the Land Registry at the next largest published scale of 1/2500. Such maps are known as
Special Registration Maps (SRMs). Similarly, in areas covered by 1/2500 scale only, customers will be able to request an SRM
at 1/1000 scale. However, SRMs, where enlarged from the smaller scale, cannot be expected to give measurements to a greater degree
of accuracy than that of the smaller scale. The Land Registry is available to discuss with customers special issues or circumstances relating
to scale in the preparation of particular maps for registration purposes.
6.SRMs may also be requested for marking boundaries for First Registration applications.
7.A plain printout or photocopy of an Imaged Filed Plan, ITM Filed Plan or SRM will not be accepted by the Land Registry for
registration purposes. Acertified office copyof these records will be accepted for registration purposes.
5.Using Land Registry Digital Maps and Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) OrthophotographyFrom its launch,landdirect.iewill provide access to the register through a digital map showing the Land Registry detail in conjunctionwith a backdrop of either a rasterised OSi topographical digital map or OSi orthophotography (aerial photos). Use of this digital map is subject to the following terms of use:
1.Parcels and plans shown on the Land Registry digital map should be read in conjunction with the relevant folio(s).
2.The description of the land on the folio and map is not conclusive as to the boundaries or extent of the land (see Section 85 of the
Registration of Title Act, 1964 (No. 16 of 1964) http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/front.html).
3.Land Registry digital maps are based on Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM projection) topographic maps that are supplied in digital form
by Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi). Published scales are 1/5000 rural, 1/2500 urban/rural, 1/1000 urban.
4.Land Registry maps are subject to the limitations of scale and survey accuracy of both OSi maps and the maps lodged for registration purposes.
Where boundaries have been transferred to a larger scale or to a different map series, whether on paper or in a digital environment,
measurements must not be expected to give a degree of accuracy greater than that of the smaller scale or older map series. Since the commencement of land registration in 1892, almost all registrations have been recorded by reference to the topographic detail that
is shown on OSi published map scales. OSi Cassini/County Series and Irish Grid published scales in the paper system were 1/10560,
1/2500 and 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1056, (both 1/1250 and 1/1056 were enlarged by OSi from 1/2500 mapping). Accuracy of the Land Registry?s boundary data is, accordingly, limited to the survey accuracy and scale of the source map originally
lodged and upon which registration was based. 5.OSi orthophotography is made available in conjunction with the Land Registry map as a visual aid in assistinglanddirect.iecustomersto locate the particular property or object of their search and for no other purpose. These aerial photos do not form part of the LandRegistry map or register.
6. Legend of Colours and Symbols on Land Registry Digital Maps, ITM Filed Plans and Special Registration Maps
1.The legend of colours and symbols appearing on Land Registry Digital Maps, ITM Filed Plans and SRMs will appear here shortly.Click here for Legends and Symbols
7.Pending Applications (First published 31st May 2002)
1.The note of applications pending that heretofore appeared on Part 2 of the folio will now be listed on a separate page and will no
longer appear as part of the folio itself. This change is necessary to facilitate our ongoing Imaging Programme of existing paper documents.
If there are applications pending on the folio selected for viewing, a message will appear in red on screen alerting the user to this.
The user can then view details of the pending application(s) and print the list if required.
