A neighbour has taken to driving along a bridleway on our land to reach the back of his house. He has even bought a small piece of land from someone else to park his car on. When I objected he offered me £750 for a right of way and suggested that unless I accepted he would take legal action. Do I have to accept it?
The fact that he’s offering you money for the right of way suggests that he knows he doesn’t have it at the moment! Assuming he has access to the front of his house you may well be within your rights to stop him driving down your lane, in which case he has jumped the gun in buying the extra land. You should let a solicitor check your title deeds however to confirm this.
