.... or even if it exists!
I've noticed on planning applications maps etc. there seems to be a thin strip of land which separates our garden from the one at the end which looks like it would be an access route for the houses (it links with the main road). However, our garden just backs onto the other one and there is only a fence in between.
I tried looking on the land registry site to see if I could work out what it was and I did find some deeds for land which were owned by Barratt homes (who built the development) but as there was no map I can't say for sure it matches the strip I am talking about. There is also a right of way path which ends before our house not very far away so it could be for that.
Anyway, if we were to extend our house (or more importantly anyone who bought our house as it is on the market) there is no way to do it without blocking off the rear garden completely. It would be great if I could wave some deeds at people and say there should really be a right of way through our rear neighbour's garden.
How likely is it that they commandeered the land? Could they have bought it? How do I go about finding out as my searching online was inconclusive. Thanks!
