Document background
A Road Right of Way Agreement is essential when parties need to establish formal access rights across private land in England and Wales. This document is commonly used when properties require access via private roads, shared driveways, or other routes crossing adjacent land. The agreement details the exact route, usage rights, maintenance responsibilities, and any restrictions. It must comply with English property law, particularly the Law of Property Act 1925, and should be registered at the Land Registry to protect the interests of all parties. This type of agreement is particularly important for landlocked properties or developments requiring guaranteed access rights.
