This deed of easement template formally grants a right over land — such as a right of way, access, drainage or services — from one landowner to another. It sets out the route or area affected, the parties’ obligations and the registration steps, for documenting access arrangements between neighbouring properties in England and Wales.
Who is this template for?
It is designed for landowners granting or receiving an easement, property buyers and sellers resolving access needs, developers, and conveyancers or solicitors preparing a formal grant of rights over registered or unregistered land.
What does the template include?
The deed is built from clearly numbered sections:
- Parties — identifies the grantor and grantee of the easement.
- Definitions — defines the key terms used in the deed.
- Grant of Easement — the formal grant, with tick boxes for right of way, drainage, support, services or another right.
- Route / Area of the Easement — describes the extent of the right, with an attached plan used for identification only.
- Consideration — any payment made for the grant.
- Duration — whether the easement is perpetual or time-limited.
- Grantor’s Obligations — the granting landowner’s responsibilities.
- Grantee’s Obligations — the benefiting party’s responsibilities.
- Registration — the grantee applies to register the deed against both titles at its own cost; a legal easement takes effect at law only once registered.
- Binding Effect — the right binds successors in title and runs with the dominant land.
- Governing Law — confirms England and Wales law applies.
- Execution — witnessed deed signing blocks for grantor and grantee.
Easy to customise
