  • I don't think your deeds will show her right of access I think your deeds will show your right of access and her deeds will show her right of access.

    The deeds of our last house contained a right of way for our neighbour. It was a written statement, not shown on the plans. It allowed her to cross our front garden to reach her front door (rather than using her own access which had a number of stairs - she was quite elderly).

    Not saying this is the same, just that it is possible for deeds to contain details of someone else’s rights of access.

    They do. Our neighbours had a RoW at one time right across our front garden about 6m from the house. The exact route was specified.



    They moved it (with our vendors agreement) to a new route 20m away, but no one altered the titles, so that had to be done before we purchased. There is a nice map accompanying the amendment.
    Of course, their rights over the original access had to be extinguished at the same time.

    If your title documents give the garage owner a right of way, it cannot be revoked without their consent.

    It would be best if you quoted the exact wording from the document,
    Until the OP comes back and quotes the relevant document(s), we are all just speculating - albeit the speculation so far has been sensible!

    I don't think they will be back to be honest.



    They wanted us to tell them that the neighbour didn't have a right to access their garage.
  • You should sue the neighbour and claim ownership of their garage. They won't have a leg to stand on, you will crush them into oblivion and claim legal right to your entitlement.
