Document background
Land Use Agreements Between Neighbors are essential documents in England and Wales used when adjacent property owners need to formalize arrangements regarding shared or bordering land use. These agreements become necessary when neighbors need to establish clear terms for access rights, maintenance responsibilities, permitted activities, or development restrictions. The document helps prevent disputes by clearly defining each party's rights and obligations, and can be particularly important when properties share facilities, boundaries, or access ways. Such agreements are governed by various property laws including the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992, and may need to be registered with the Land Registry to ensure enforceability against future owners.
