Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Never told about a shared driveway when we purchased our home.

Approximately 1 yr. ago we purchased an existing home,just a month ago we learned from our neighbor that the driveway was shared.

I guess one of my question is: shouldn't we have been informed by one of the realtors about this ?

The drive is in need of repair and I am pretty sure that the neighbor will not help pay for this. Do we have any rights here ?

Thank you for any information you can give me.

Sure, the realtor as well as the seller should've informed you of this fact. However, if you had had a proper survey done of the property that you were purchasing, this anomaly would very likely have been revealed.
