The Land Registration Act 2002 changed the rules on Adverse Possession or ‘squatters rights’ as it is often better known. However, the old rules do still apply to periods of possession which started before 1991 or to unregistered land.
The rules are extremely complex but if you are seeking to establish an adverse possession claim, or are resisting one, Stephensons can help. Occupancy is a complex concept, but with our extensive experience in this field we can guide you through any challenges you encounter.
