How to obtain Plan/map identifying a property? by westo_uk

Hello, I wondered if anyone could help me obtain a map/plan of a small plot of land that I own? I purchased the land back in 2007 and seem to remember having a plan identifying the plot at the time, but can't seem to find it now. I have the title ...

I think that the idea is if you want to sell you go back to the notary you bought from with the deeds and they give you a copy of the skitsa , for a price I think. I have heard that no skitsa no sale but I'm no expert. Read More
