"On your property? It'll be on the deeds won't it?"
A property I'm thinking about buying.
I went to see it and when I got there I saw white pained lines which someone put by the property with house numbers on.
I asked the seller and he said he owns all of it except one parking slot, but there are three marked out the same. |

Sounds weird. If you go through the buying process the solicitor will look at all that. Perhaps you could ask the estate agent before? |

I asked the estate agent and she wasn't sure so she phoned the owner and he said only one space wasn't owned by someone else.
I didn't want to go through the buying process without knowing what I'm buying first. |

"Land registry. Theres a small fee. A few quid. Worth it though.  "
This - or do what most people do, and take the owners word on trust, and if what they have told you doesn't turn out to be correct you can either pull out of the sale, or use it as a point to negotiate the price down - depends how much you like/want the house really and how big a sticking point it would be if what the owner has told you is incorrect. |

Sorry but this us incorrect - Land Registry Title Plans do not show boundaries and cannot be used in boundary disputes. Councils will not get involved in boundary determinations either. It is all dependant on the conveyance documents. There can be other considerations also that might need to be taken into account e.g adverse possession. DM sent. |

It's worth bearing in mind that some builders occasionally make mistakes, after misinterpreting plans. As you are a customer of the estate agent, I'd put the onus on to them to get answers to important questions, such as clarity upon what you would be buying. |
