But you may find if you look at Part 3 of the Folio in PRAI that there is a burden registered which gives you the rights to cut turf. Likewise if your own property is registered you may find the Turbary rights are registered on Part 1 of the folio underneath the section that shows your lands / property.This is an interesting one. I & my parents both own houses that have banks of turf "attached" to them. We used to cut turf, but not any more. I checked the bank of turf on the Land Direct, has a different folio number than our houses. Grandparents have been cutting turf there since 1930's. be interested to know who owns the bank of turf & is it possible to get into your own name. PS @Meathlass , our turf bank is also in county Meath
You should check it in the Land Registry Office. If you point out the turbary on the map they should be able to advise you further.as an update, I found a Land Registry document,
Part 1 is the Description" A plot of ground etc ....." & a note saying registration does not extend to the mines & minerals
Part 2, Ownership
Part 3 Burdens and Notices of Burden, 1) property is subject to statutory conditions in section etc.. of the labourers Act etc.. 2) a cottage purchase annuity of £1-48 for 17 years payable to council etc...
No mention of the right to cut turf.
A map is also with the document, looks an old map , mentions This map does not show appurtenant or servient rights.
Didn't they do that already (at Land Direct)?You should check it in the Land Registry Office. If you point out the turbary on the map they should be able to advise you further.
I checked the bank of turf on the Land Direct ...
Thanks, I plan to give the Land Registry a call this week, the bank of turf folio is visible online, however, the shape of the turf folio is a little different than the actual turf bank. I'll update later this week.
