Disputed right of way

Alexandra2022

Recently bought a Terraced house where there is a path through several gardens and where there is a right of way. The deeds to the house show all houses south of mine have this right of way but do not mention the end of terrace to the north of mine. 
There is a gap in the fence with the north facing house which I want to cover
The neighbour is owned by a landlady who wants access to the path for her ground floor tenant. There is currently no tenant in this flat.
Has anyone faced a similar issue/have any advice on this?
Thanks.

There may be information on the deeds of the other house.

You can buy a copy of these from the Land Registry.

If the house isn't registered, you'll have to talk to the owner and see if she can show entitlement in the paper deeds.

And it costs £3 to get the deeds.

and another £3 to buy the Plan!

But if, as you suggest, the house to the north has no ROW over the path, hen legally you can simply put up a fence to block the gap, but it would be wise first toinvite said neighbour to tea, buy or bake a nice cake, and discuss the matter. Have copies of your and the neighbour's deeds so you can show her, and have some explanation ready eg "I may be selling sometime and don't want problems with my buyer querying why the gap and asking about the ROW which does not exist."
