Right of way disputes

What is a right of way dispute?

A right of way is an easement (a right enjoyed over another property) giving the owner of land the right to go across a neighbour’s land.

It can exist in a deed, be implied or come about from by virtue of the amount of time the right has been used.

When can a dispute arise?

You might disagree with your neighbour regarding the purposes for which they can exercise the right; the area of land over which the right exists or when your neighbour blocks the access.

We can advise you on the the terms of a right of way and what you can do if you find your neighbour interfering with your right in some way.
