OWNERS OF LAND-BEWARE OF SQUATTERS

3 Tips to avoid Squatters Rights for the Landowner.

Essentially a squatter on land can acquire rights to possess land and extinguish the owners title to the land if he has physical control of the land for 12 years up to October 2003 without interruption by the Owner or if he does not have this period of 12 years by October 2003 , succeeds in an application to the Land Registry to be registered.

How to avoid this?

  1. Do not be inactive as the Owner. Take possession of land by going to Court. Grant licences. These all stop the 12 year clock running.
  2. Apply to register your land if it is unregistered.
  3. Notify the land registry of your addresses. Use up to 3 addresses. This makes it easier for the Land Registry to notify you if a squatter applies for registration.
