Document background
A Right of Way Access Agreement is essential when one party requires legal access across another's property in England and Wales. This document is commonly used in situations where direct access to a public road isn't available, or where shared access arrangements are necessary. The agreement defines the exact route, usage terms, maintenance obligations, and any restrictions. It's particularly important for property development, agricultural access, or utility installations, and must comply with English and Welsh property law, including the Law of Property Act 1925 and Land Registration Act 2002. The agreement typically requires registration at the Land Registry to be binding on successive owners.
