Do title deeds show boundary?

The Land Registry Title Plans are always to scale. However, you cannot rely upon this as an accurate measurement to determine the boundaries.

How do you tell if a fence is yours on your deeds?

When looking at the plans, the ownership is indicated by a “T” marked on the plans on one side of a boundary. If the “T” is written on your side of the boundary, you're responsible for maintaining it. If there's an H (although actually it's two joined Ts) the boundary is the joint responsibility of both parties.
