‘As most properties now have registered titles, the starting is to look to the Register for the boundary. However – this is subject to two obvious pitfalls:
1. The boundary is a “general boundary” unless it has been fixed (and few boundaries are fixed);
2. The start point was, is and will remain, the conveyance that divided the plot out – ie the first division from a larger piece. This may have been many years before – often over 100 years before.’
