What does un-deeded mean? Un-deeded access means that your use of a road or trail across an adjoining landowner to get to your property is not governed by a written document (or, there is no road at all). This is commonly called a “landlocked” property. It’s the road people “have always used” to get to the property, but a written agreement was never negotiated with the neighbor. The state of Alabama has a law that says you can’t “land lock” your neighbor. That is, deny them physical access. But this does not mean they have to give you a written easement, and it does not mean they have to let you string power lines or run water lines across their property. Un-deeded access can be a problem when borrowed capital is used to buy land. Lenders often will not lend money when the intended security interest is “land locked”. Depends on intended use If you are looking at Alabama land for sale that does not touch on a public road, then how you intend to use the property is key to understanding the issue. For example, if you intend to build a house and will need water and utilities, then having “deeded access” will be critical. You’ll have to negotiate these things with your neighbor. On the other hand, if you are buying hunting land or want to grow timber and 4-wheel with the kids, our experience is the risk is small you’ll have a problem with a neighbor when the access road is well established and it’s use has not been a point of contention with the neighbor. In general, the more landowners who use an un-deeded access road to get to their property, the less likely there will be trouble with the adjoining landowner. How to obtain a deeded access. If having deeded access is critical to your purchase, the best way to proceed is to negotiate a contract with the seller of the “land locked” property that contains a contingency for successfully negotiating a written access agreement with the adjoining landowners. This way if you can’t resolve the issue to your satisfaction you’ll get your deposit back. And meanwhile, you have the property tied up so it can’t sell before you have a chance to solve the issue. It may cost you some money to get the deeded access (payment to adjoining landowner, survey cost, attorney fees, and recording fees) but it is money well spent.
