Bollox.  Lawyer has let us know that there is an issue with easement on the house that we want to buy. Essentially, it gives access to three plots behind us.  Only one house uses it and that is inhabited by a nice old couple.  Problem is that if the other two plots are developed, then we would lose a fair chunk of the garden and, worst case scenario, would have some obnoxious neighbours having access.  We have 24 hrs, less now, to decide what todo.  Go ahead.  Buy the house we are renting?  Start looking again?  Bollox!
