What is an Easement?

MG Legal, Conveyancers in Manchester, see Easements as being like vouchers or IOU’s. The Land Owner gets a right (or a voucher) to use, or in some cases not use, the land in a certain way. For example, the land may grant you one voucher to cross next doors land.

(d) the right must be capable of being granted by deed, so therefore they must usually be:

(i) within the general nature of rights capable of being easements, and

(ii) sufficiently definite.
