Advice please: Was I mis-sold my property?

could you fence off a little walkway so that the neighbours have a path from their garden to the alleyway - doesn't have to be anything big and sacrificing a small strip of garden may be worth it for some privacy.I am a Mortgage Adviser

People's niceness and decency often goes out of the window when money is involved, especially the hundred of thousands of pounds property costs.
I guess the real question is how the OP responds when they come to sell the place: be a nice/decent person and risk the buyer offering less or pulling out when they learn about the ROW, or keep quiet and hope they don't notice...?!?0 -
Well arguably you could make a claim. Have a look at the instructions for the seller on the TA6.Woolners89 wrote: »Fair enough! We’ll put it down to first time buyers inexperience. He left 8.5 blank, now I know why! Thanks for the replies.
However
1) what would be the valuue of your loss? How much would/could you claim?
2) very uncertain whether you'd win - could go either way. You could discuss with solicitor for better advice
3) time. Stress. Money. It will cost you all 3.0 -
Personally - I'd say the odds with a claim are weighted very heavily against OP - because of the fact it's written down in the Deeds.
Yeh...I know...I know...and just which of us does read the Deeds with fine toothcomb and cynical mind prior to buying a house? Not a lot of us I guess - but the vendor can say that and judge would probably agree with them (even though said judge would probably know the vendor should have told OP verbally and deliberately didnt do so).0
