Do I have to allow access?

[tweener]

We have a little path between our garage +parking spot and our house. I'll attach a copy of the land title in the next post if it will let me. I'll draw the little path in blue.

Considering there are no cross hatchings or markings of any kind, is there anything stopping us putting a gate up? Our direct next door neighbours are lovely and would want to make it difficult for them to get to their house but we've got lots of people walking up and down this path between our house and garage because they can't be bothered to walk from where the cars are all parked round onto the street to their house. I can also post a copy of the registry but I can't see anything in there at all. A neighbour has also said she didn't think we were allowed on this street (restrictive covenant) to paint our doors anything other than white, but I can't see anything to that effect either.

Hopefully this picture posts...

Unless there is a restrictive covenant preventing you from doing so, you can put up a gate. It is clearly on your land.

Thats well & truly on your land. If people are using it as a short cut I'd definitely be putting a gate up. Just be sure & get a locked one or the CF will still use it

My brothers house has mention of only white doors. Their street is now 25 years old and over the years as people changed windows etc there's quite a number of coloured doors - his included.

The house will be registered and unless there is a registered easement you don't have to let others walk on your land (there is clearly no need to do so, just laziness, so unless the easement is registered there is no reason in equity to grant one).

You would need to check there are no restrictive covenants as well but this seems unlikely too.

Thank you all. I can't see any restrictive covenants although not entirely sure I'm looking in the right place. Would it be on the charges register?

No, these would normally be found on the title deeds.

Thank you, so if there were restrictive covenants I'd find them here?

Tried to remove names and identifying details.

Op I think that’s the title register you need the actual property deeds

Yeah, as @TheMerryWidow1 says, this is only the Title Register but it will tell you if the title deeds are held by the Land Registry. You will need to fill in an OC2 form for the title deeds if you need a copy of them.

Thank you both. I just find it so confusing. I have my title register and the map, and when I search for the deeds the gov site says restrictive covenants should be on the title register?

I can't find a definitive picture on Google for what title deeds actually look like, assuming I have a copy from the solicitor at all.

You need to download a copy of the transfer deed referred to in the document you have posted.

The trouble with a title register is that it will only tell you about restrictive covenants that were registered on it. The title deeds will give you more certainty as it will include the covenants included when the land was first purchased.

Thank you. It looks like my only option to be sure is to fill in the OC2 form and send a cheque or postal order with it.
Much appreciated all.

The title you've posted are your deeds.

The 2006 transfer document contains restrictive covenants and you will be bound by those. You need to get a copy of that document from the Land Registry although when you bought the property the conveyancer should have done that and told you what those covenants said, so go through what you were told at the time of purchase.

The 2011 document may contain a right of way - it's unclear though as you have redacted too much. Get hold of a copy of that document as well, or see what your conveyancer told you.

Thank you, I have already bought the 2011 documents and it's a long list of the below picture. Nothing else, so I would hope that means no restrictive covenants that affect me. I have emailed my conveyancer just in case.
