What to do if someone blocks your right of way

You have the right to enter and exit your property safely and efficiently. There should be clear entrances and exits and you should have access to them. You do not want a public footpath going through your back garden or a bridleway going through your front lawn. Having a clear understanding of your legal rights and the measures to follow to settle a dispute is essential if your right of way has been restricted. When two adjacent properties are held by two separate parties, a right of way is established. One property will gain from the right-of-way, while the other will bear its weight. In most cases, the right of way is established by means of a deed; however, in situations in which the land is registered, the right of way will be listed on the Title Register of the properties that are liable to it, connected to it, adjacent to it or where it touches their property. 

Whatever your situation, whether you’re hunting for property or currently own one, it’s crucial to grasp the basics of private right-of-way statutes.

What should you do if someone blocks your right of way?

First and foremost, if you’re involved in a right of way dispute with a neighbor you need a solicitor who is knowledgeable about the law as well as the emotional and financial stress that border conflicts may cause.

Since the obstruction of a right of way may simply be the result of a misunderstanding, the first action that makes the most sense is to have a conversation with your neighbors. In certain cases, you may be able to work out a deal that both sides are happy with.

It is necessary to prove that you have a right to use the right of way in the first place before you can bring a claim for serious interference. After establishing this, writing to the person causing the disturbance may lead to the interference being eliminated. If this does not work, you may want to consider getting a Court order requiring the neighbors to make an agreement.

A right of way is something that everyone involved in the dispute has a judgment on, although those views are often conflicting.. To avoid extensive, costly, and unpleasant disputes between the owners of the road and others who believe they have specific rights to use it, it is essential to clarify what both sides truly meant when they signed the agreement.
