If they had derived their data from OSM .. then all would be fine.
As I hinted before, the use of a red line, and a custom printout from an OS detailed map, suggests this is a map for legal purposes. For both the Land Registry and council planning applications, a red line is the convention for showing a property boundary.
Until you can get lawyers, the Land Registry, and councils to accept OSM derived mapping, this sort of map is always going to be OS derived.
(Actually, at least for the Land Registry, the outline on the map is only indicative, not definitive.)
Another issue with the Land Registry is that all the outline data is combined into an index map that can be searched, but not viewed, by the public. Combining OS and OSM derived data might cause licensing issues for that.
