You need to check the way leave agreement Signed by any previous owner of the property. Unfortunately this agreement carries over to any future owners. Even if you didn't sign or agree to it, sadly you are stuck with it under English law

I would have thought that since it was a previous owner, their authorisation would be with that person... I, for one, would write to them and tell them that they have x number of months to get rid of it, otherwise you'll get rid of it for them.
hi and thanks for the advice ive tried that ive had as many as 5 so called managers out to look at what the work involves and (its a big and i mean a big job)it would mean they (virgin)digging up destroying my back garden with a jcb or simmilar and thats not on? they phoned me at lenth yesterday and guess what they are to send another 2 managers this thurs just to round in cirles again and if i cut them they maintain i will be billed for the damage so plz plz plz help me out im getting real desperate as again they say they have wayleave over my property but they are not on my deeds or with the council i purchased house from and if i go to court they say they will tie me up for years HELPPPPPP?
As long as they get it done quickly-ish and make your garden nice again, then why not let them? Otherwise, go to a Citizens Advice Bureau and speak to them. In any case, if you own the property and you haven't signed anything giving Virgin rights to your property, then they can't really enforce anything the previous owner signed for. So: 1) Write to them to tell them that they have, say, 2 months to get it off your property and after that, you'll get rid of it for them. Record yourself saying this to the next managers, and also send it to them in a recorded letter.; 2) Go see your local CAB office about it; 3) see one of those 'no-win no-fee' solicitors about suing them for emotional distress...
