Document background
The Driveway Easement And Maintenance Agreement is essential when property owners need to establish formal shared access arrangements over a driveway. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, creates a legally enforceable easement that allows one property owner to use part of another's land for access purposes, while clearly defining maintenance responsibilities and cost allocations. It's particularly crucial for properties with shared access ways, newly developed plots, or where existing informal arrangements need formalisation. The agreement ensures long-term certainty for all parties and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting rights and obligations.
