Any reasonably prudent person will not buy a property without an access way to it. Let us define your property as Property-A(1000 sq.ft) and your neighbor property behind you as Property-B (800 sq.ft.,) for the sake of convenience and brevity. While your neighbor purchasing Property-B (800 sq.ft.,) vide a sale deed in 70’s, with a proper advice given by an advocate, he should have mentioned the 200 sq.ft of access way as common property to you and your neighbor. The common property means the common way. So it is advisable to you at this stage to place a copy of the above mentioned sale deed of Property-B (800 sq.ft) to a property lawyer before proceeding with the settlement in your favour, by your father.
