A solicitor is acting for the buyer of a freehold property with registered title. The seller’s solicitor tells the buyer’s solicitor that the property benefits from a legal right of way on foot, across a neighbour’s registered freehold property, to reach a road.
What will the buyer’s solicitor look for when examining the Land Registry official copy of the title to the property to confirm that the right of way is properly registered?

When examining the Land Registry official copy of the title to confirm that a right of way is properly registered, the buyer’s solicitor should look for an entry referring to an easement in the Property Register. The Property Register contains details of the property and any legal rights benefiting the property, such as easements. This is where the right of way would be recorded to show that the property has the benefit of this legal right.
Key Point: The Property Register of the Land Registry title contains information about the physical property and its rights, including easements. To confirm a right of way, the solicitor must check the Property Register for an entry referring to the easement.
