Public Property Q&A

What Should I Check About Access Easements & Private Roads?

Due Diligence & Contracts · 2025-11-13

Confirm that the property has lawful, usable access from a public road and identify any registered servitude or easement. Check who owns the private road, who may use it, how repairs are funded and whether gates or future development could restrict access. The physical track is not enough if the legal right is missing. The title and Land Office records should support the route used in practice. Images and summaries are a starting point rather than the final decision record.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current prices and availability should be confirmed with the relevant seller, developer or manager, while ownership, contracts, tax and inspection matters should be checked with qualified buyer-side professionals.
