One thing I'd suggest on a practical note is to think hard about anything that you think could help facilitate or prevent your access being impinged upon, then getting that put in place before.
For e.g. (in France) my parents' place has a right of access over a 2m section of road belonging to the neighbours. In retaliation for a perceived slight they put up a gate which now makes it harder to enter (ironically leaving cars running outside their house for longer).
If my folks had put in a proper wall and decent gate before hand, it wouldn't prevent the neighbours from doing the same thing, but it would have been much harder politically to put a gate in front of their gate.
I'd also question why, in what looks like a straight forward scenario there you wouldn't ask the people with the access root to sell it before purchase.

Interesting - thanks. Sounds like a decent solicitor would be able to ensure that things are on a firm legal footing.
I'm going to speak to the estate agent tomorrow to establish if other people have made offers before, and what happened to those.
