Easements, rights of way and sporting rights cover legal rights to use land for access, paths, or activities such as hunting or fishing, and may affect both neighbouring and owned land. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and registers easements and rights of way, reviews title and plan approvals, resolves encroachments or disputes, and advises on enforceability and scope under the law of property, registration and related case law. They may work with clients on transfers, leases, or boundary matters where a right over land is implicated.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles issues such as creating or conceding servitudes, negotiating deeds and dispositions, checking title plans, and prosecuting or defending disputes in the courts or via property tribunals. They manage complexities arising from overlapping interests, conflicting rights, and varying evidential requirements to establish or refine the scope and enforceability of the right.
