Access to Neighbouring Land
Under the "Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992", an owner of one plot, land, building, etc., will have a right of reasonable access on to the neighbours land where necessary in order to be able to undertake repairs and maintenance works to their property. More often than not, neighbourly relations are good and access is agreed and granted on an informal basis without the need for formal applications for Access under the 1992 Act. However, where informal dialogue between the parties proves unsuccessful, more formal action may be necessary under the 1992 Act in order to be able to gain access and to undertake the necessary remedial works and repairs.
When formal requests for access are necessary, Barker Associates can prepare appropriate notices for access and can draft suitable licence to access terms which generally result in access being agreed and granted subject to the terms without the need for the intervention of the Courts. On rare occasions where Court action is necessary to gain access, Barker Associates can also offer legal consultancy services and attend on behalf of either of the parties during the Court application for access.
