Rights of Way

As a land owner you may acquire a right of way across another person’s land by way of:

It could involve:

  • a right for the general public to use a public footpath or highway
  • a right to use a private shared driveway whereby each owner has a right to pass over the driveway including passing over another person’s land. 

Establishing a right of way if not written into the title documentation is often difficult. If you do have some rights you may also have obligations such as maintenance costs. At Hart Brown our specialists can give guidance on whether you have a right of way, any rights of way issues and any breaches which might be causing you difficulties.

To speak to someone who can help with rights of way call, email or request a call back from one of our specialist lawyers.
