Claiming Land

[stonerblue]

Every square inch of land in England is owned by someone.

My only advice would be to exercise extreme caution because if you end up in a dispute with another individual or a company it could become very costly. I know because I've been there. Just ask yourself how much you really NEED the additional land. Hope it all goes well for you anyway, mate.

Our gaffer had 2 of the lads fencing a bit of land off that apparently doesn't belong to anyone , he contacted the land registry first.

It's always been part of our garden in the almost 12 years we have been here.....three ton of gravel I handballed onto it to make it a nice place to sit in the sun, from the overgrown jungle it was previous, lol. Pretty integral to it now....

As i said earlier, all land in England is owned by someone.

If you've 'claimed' it for a minimum 10/12 years then you may have a case of 'adverse' posession but that doesn't necessarily give you the legal right to the land.
