Karen Walsh: Is your right of way registered in your favour?

Do you access your property through a right of way over someone else’s land?

Many of us enjoy rights of way without ever really thinking about them, for example, you may access your house or land through a neighbour’s private lane or roadway.

You do not own the private lane or roadway, it is not a public route maintained by the local authority, but you are entitled to use it, because you have a legal property right.
