• Easement Issue

    By Guest on 10th May 2016

    I have an easement issue on a UK house, from a conveyance dating from 1951, involving neighbours access to a house I am looking to buy. How long would it take to remove this access? It is historic and I presume hasnt been used for a while.

    Hi,

    An legal easement lasts forever and binds every owner of the burdened land. Getting it removed is not possible as such. The best you can do challenge any future attempt by any one to use it. To do so you would have to prove it had been abandoned for at least 40 years but even then there is no guarantee of success.

    Regards
