I didn't have a manhole cover for my house at all (until I had my extension done when I had to put a new sewer run in and a rodding point in the garden). The manhole cover for the terrace I live in, was actually 3 houses away in the neighbours garden which served the entire terrace. It's not uncommon.
If they have written something like "left hand wall belongs to us, right hand wall belongs to neighbours" there is a high chance that it's received wisdom bollocks.
It used to be common to put these under kitchen islands with covers you could lift, but memory tells me that's against regs now?
