What is Private Road?

If you get access by a private road, you and the other users will be responsible for making arrangements and meeting the costs of the road instead of the council.

Your lawyer will search the easement on the title that sets out the terms of the right of way and its use. Make sure you read and understand your obligations. The team at Hayman Lawyers will make sure you understand your obligations before you sign, to avoid costly mistakes.
