The surveyor will be needed to draw up a plan of the land to be transferred so the Land Register can be updated and the title plan of your property and that of your neighbour can be amended. And you&#8217;ll need a solicitor to actually do the transfer and to get everything sorted with the Land Registry. The solicitor should be able to act on behalf on both you and your neighbour as the value of the land is less than \u00a310,000.
