Hi there,
I'm after some help reference an area of land i have purchased.
The land in question is in front of our business, a yard to be more precise.
For years we have been plagued by another business parking on this land, staff congregating on it, cars been driven erratically & vehicles being washed on it both company & personal. We bought the land from a neighbouring landlord Dec 16
The issue we have is that this other business is flexing its muscles.
The business in question is the council, the company vehicles were refuse vehicles.
There building backs onto our yard, they have fire escapes x 3 that access our land & a large door in the building that they open from time to time to wash there refuse vehicles.
They have there own access at there end & have plenty of fire escapes there also.
We have checked all covenants to ensure that they hadn't been granted access by previous owners.
So, they want full access for there vehicles to use the back door & they want a key for the yard so they can come & go as they please. I have declined this, am i within my rights to do so ?
I have been threatened today with legal action.
Sorry for the long winded post. TIA

My legal guy is ok with it all. I asked him to check everything before we went ahead.
I'm going through a lengthy legal battle just now with something else that isnt our fault, dont really want another one.

My legal guy says they have no access rights. We checked all land registry titles before we purchased.
Its the typical council flexing a little
