Servitudes and easements are agreements between two parties that are entered into the Land Registry records for the most part. Some are rights, and some are obligations. When purchasing property, it is always advisable to scrutinise the Land Registry and to talk to the Notary Public or licensed conveyancer. Obligations, in particular, need to be carefully examined.

Servitudes and easements can, but do not necessarily, affect value. A servitude or easement can normally be removed from the records provided both parties agree and formally sign to that effect at the Notary Public / Land Registry.
