How can we help?
In an ideal situation, when a landowner wishes to perform work on his property requiring access to his neighbours land permission would be granted and the work could be carried out with the minimum of fuss.
However, many people find that their relationships with their neighbours have deteriorated to the level where permission has been refused.
The law recognises the difficult position that this places landowners in.

The courts will only be prepared to grant an access order if it does not unreasonably inconvenience your neighbour. Our property law team have developed extensive experience this area which will give you the best possible chance of success in your application.
