We've bought an end terraced house where the next door neighbour (unsurprisingly) has right of access round the side of the house, through our garden, past our kitchen and dining room window and on to the back of their house. Fair enough we thought when the solicitor drew this to our attention - they'll need it to take the bins out, take gardening equipment back and forth etc. However, day one in new house the neighbour politely but firmly points out that they will continue to use this as their main route into their house rather than use the front door. This includes all their family and other visitors who now routinely troop through our garden. A perusal of the deeds confirms that they have right of access with no caveats. Is that it then? Will we never be able to eat breakfast just wearing our pants ever again?
