When it comes to selling land, one of the most overlooked factors is access. Does your property have a legal road leading to it? Is there an easement in place that allows future buyers to enter and exit? Or is it landlocked—surrounded by other private property with no clear way in or out?
Ignoring access and easement issues can dramatically slash your property’s value—or even make it unsellable.
Why Access Matters
- Landlocked Property Is Less Valuable
Without legal access, your land may be worth a fraction of what it could fetch otherwise. Buyers are wary of purchasing property they can’t legally reach. - Financing Becomes Difficult
Most banks won’t finance land purchases without confirmed access. That leaves sellers with fewer qualified buyers and a much smaller market. - Future Use Is Limited
Whether a buyer wants to build, farm, or simply enjoy recreational use, none of that matters if they can’t get to the property without crossing someone else’s land.
Easement Issues Sellers Overlook
- No Recorded Easement: Even if you’ve “always driven across that road,” without a recorded easement, future buyers have no guaranteed access.
- Poorly Written Easements: Vague or outdated easements can lead to disputes and legal challenges.
- Shared Access Conflicts: When multiple parties share an access road, disagreements over maintenance and usage can scare buyers away.
The Risk of Ignoring Access
Overlooking land access is one of the fastest ways to derail a sale. A buyer may be interested—until their title company finds no recorded easement. At that point, deals often collapse, leaving sellers frustrated.
