I've received a copy of a map of a site plot for an old property that
we've almost decided to buy (negotiations ongoing). The map is originally
from the local council and shows in detail the outline of the plot, scale
1:1250. It's been reduced and no "rulers" are included on my copy, just a
grid that I would guess is 100m. On the photocopy it says "OS Map:
Reproduced by Permission of Ordnance Survey".

The vendor and agent haven't measured up the plot themselves ("we
*believe* it to be blah blah") and the agent's own copy of the map doesn't
show anything that he didn't send me. So does anyone know what the grid
size of a 1:1250 Ordnance Survey map might be? I guess our future
solicitor and surveyor will know very well but if anyone knows before I
kick their taxameters into action then I'd be grateful.

The current OS 1:1250 "Superplan" has a 100m grid. I've only seen kilometer
squares on OS maps from 1:50000 through to 1:5000 I would guess the only
grids will be 1000m, 100m and 10m(?).

Also try http://www.magic.gov.uk/ interactive mapping based on OS digital
mapping - data goes down to displayed street name scale.
