About: Ransom strip

An Entity of Type: academic journal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the United Kingdom, a ransom strip refers to a parcel of land needed to access an adjacent property from a public highway, to which the owner is denied access until payment is received. The strip of land can be either between the property and the highway, or be located between two properties. The width of the ransom strip can be as narrow as 150 millimetres (5.9 in) wide, but it can lead to significant conflict. It may be possible to claim a prescriptive easement if there has been 20 years of uninterrupted access.

  • In the United Kingdom, a ransom strip refers to a parcel of land needed to access an adjacent property from a public highway, to which the owner is denied access until payment is received. The strip of land can be either between the property and the highway, or be located between two properties. The width of the ransom strip can be as narrow as 150 millimetres (5.9 in) wide, but it can lead to significant conflict. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors advises property owners to locate and price any ransom strip on a property, as the cost to release the "ransom" should be deducted from the overall purchase price of the property. The agreement to access such ransom strips is lodged with the Land Registry. It may be possible to claim a prescriptive easement if there has been 20 years of uninterrupted access. A ransom strip can also include permission to widen a public road leading to a property. In 1999, a 10-year dispute over a ransom strip in Riddlesden, West Yorkshire, resulted in a £1.6 million payment to a group of homeowners, who agreed to sell a 16-foot (4.9 m) tract of their properties to widen a road leading to a new development of 350 executive homes.
