Hello - I'd be grateful for some advice please. I'm on the end of a block of houses and the people next door to me have a servitude right of way - so they can go via my garden to theirs. There is a designated path on the deeds to the house.
There's never been a problem before. The previous people never used it and the people before that only used to use it to put their bins out each week. My understanding from the solicitor was that it was a path for the people living next door to use, not for just anyone.
The new people are a pain and have caused bother since they moved here. But it's been worse for me. It's not all the time, but often enough - perhaps 2-3 times per week there are strange people going through my garden to next door. If I've been in my garden I've had a real shock to look up and see some strange man walking towards me!
The deeds are not very helpful. It just says that there is a servitude right of way for the proprietors. I've had a word with a few people to see what they think and it's split between being occupants of the property only or it's a general public access and basically I have to put up and shut up. I've looked online for some guidance too but I've not been able to find anything specific to my issue.
I don't want to get into any bother with the neighbours - but I do feel that I should be able to walk outside into my garden of an evening and not have strangers walking past.
Thank you in advance.
