Im 3 months in to claiming a residential property. I was a tenant for 3 years until my landlord was made bankrupt, the insolvency service disclaimed the property and it was escheated 3 months ago. Ive decided to just stay put and do the repair work needed and ride it out.

I’ve known about this for years but not the finer details of how to do it, it’s fascinating thank you

You're on to something there for sure. I came across a piece of land today with three new build shells that haven't been touched in 5 years since the developer owed credit to the bank and then the bank went bust. The developer has since disappeared. Definitely going to research further on that one!

You sort of touched on it near the end, but want your thoughts on this. I used to watch Heir Hunters, and they'd sometimes mention cases where the deceased A) owned a house/piece of land B) Had no findable heirs the researchers could find.

Factoring in the 35 year rule for unclaimed estates and the 12 years for adverse possession, hypothetically, would it be possible to use that as an avenue to find potential land/property to claim? Finding out what the dead person owned, and seeing that there weren't any relatives to claim the property via inheritance, claim it via adverse possession.

Also funny you mention the garages thing... there's a strip of abandoned land near me which used to contain garages, but now stand empty, with large slabs of concrete intersected by overgrown trees and bushes. Two neighbours have extended their gardens onto this land, one even building a garage.

I wonder if they used/are using Adverse possession?

Nice video mate. Any ideas if its possible to claim an unregistered piece of land near the railway. Probably belongs to network rail but its unregistered

[dalemccook]

Great video, how doe's it work for commercial properties? And what do you say to a locksmith???

[kristiyannikolov]

I would be interested in a project like this and building an A-frame cabin. It would be such a fun adventure 🙌

After ten years you can apply to the land registry for the title. They will notify the title holder of your Application and they then have two years to evict you and can sue you for damages

I'm having problems locating Garages on the HM Land Registry, When I use the map to pin point location it keeps coming up with the houses next door on the search results page.

[workoutohid]

Is there any specific website to check if the land is free???

[Gunnarhappystick]

The fact that the “expert” here looks about 14 years old should tell you all you need to know about the highly risky pursuit of adverse possession

[ekjuk]

Hi, what if the property needs major work? I wouldn't be able to afford to repair any work on the roof that's collapsed ? Would I not be considered the title if I can't repair the property? Thanks.

[philipmcluskey]

Please..more! these was amazing. i have watched these empty properties fall apart for years...please post more.

You couldn’t just put up a village noticeboard. You need to have sole use of the land and use it as a prudent landowner would so so in order to claim adverse possession. You would probably need to fence off most plots or lock-up a derelict garage so that nobody else can have access to or challenge your adverse possession claim.

I'm going to adverse possess a empty house in my street which isn't registered and has become slightly derelict. Am I right to understand that during the period of 10 years of I make the property liveable I can rent it out.

[special.k]

Hello mate. Recently came across 2–3 houses owned by the council and a parcel of abandoned/unmaintaines land also owned by the council. Is there a legal way to posses these derelict houses

[MexicoCountryLivingBacktoEden]

Thank you Oliver for making this videos and sharing it. I will like you to come anelp me find a property that I can convert into a small eco-village.
