Adverse Possession Claims
Sometimes, when you come to sell your property, a small parcel of unregistered land abuts your registered title and is already within your control and a claim for adverse possession is undertaken at that time.
From our offices in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Derby and Tamworth, our lawyers deal with numerous adverse possession claims and have a very successful record of obtaining registered title.
If you have used, or looked after, a piece of land that you do not own, there is a possibility that you could claim adverse ownership, and that the Land Registry grants what is known as "possessory title" if not “title absolute”. There are more than 25 million registered properties (property titles) in England and Wales, according to the Land Registry. There are still, however, a large number of unregistered areas of land that have the potential to be asserted through adverse possession.
