No, the deeds don't mention it at all

Well in that case - surely you can turn round and say to all concerned "If it ain't in the deeds that you can do it (ie walk through my garden) then that means I have no legal obligation to let you walk through my garden"?

I know this was one thing I had to do on my place - take the attitude of "If it ain't in the deeds - it ain't happening".

Yes you are correct. We have no access to our garden using this passageway. The passageway is our land, but their access to their garden. We'd have no reason to be using the passageway

Are you sure it would be your land? I don't see the point if you can't use it for anything. Would be simpler just to shift the boundary, unless the layout isn't as straightforward as I'm imagining (yes, a diagram would assist!).

I'm another who is having difficulty understanding the exact situation. A diagram really would help!

That's what I thought, although I'd try for a price reduction.

I'm envisaging that this walkway runs at the far end of the garden, rather than through the middle, or any other inconvenient part. If so, it's a matter of losing a metre or so of garden; annoying but maybe not a deal-breaker.

Diagram needed.
site plan of the development would do.

Have a look at the planning as well could just be an error.

WE have similar(also persimmon) when you look at the plots you could think the land between the houses one side belongs to next door but it mostly belongs to ours and we have a gate into the back, they have a 2ft(ish) strip

on the other side we have the 2ft(ish) strip and next door owns the rest with a gate into their garden

The boundary marker is the fence post and runs parallel to the house walls forward to the road(no actual fence in front of that line)

a bit like this
House Gate Fence(2ft)

HHHHGFHHHHHHHGFHHHHHHHH

this is all at the front so not a big deal.


Looking at a site plan it could be a lot worse .

there is an example of what look like rear access via another property.

look at plots 71/72.(there are others)

crazy layout of that estate
No 2 also has No 1 parking along side it and has to go the other side of No 4 for theirs.

if they had nudged them up a bit No1 get parking along side as would every one else No 5 losses a bit of garden.
