Right of way query
1 Answers
Hi I own a property which has a right of way along the back of my garden which as been fenced in for the past 10 years, subsiquently is not in use and cannot be accessed. I was wondering how many years it would be before the right of way would be extiguished and then become my land?

The best you can hope for is to divert the right of way - this is what landowners somtimes do.
If it is a private right of way (an easement written into the land registry titles of two or more land titles - one with the benefit, another with the burden), then that's different.
