What is adverse possession?

28/01/2025

Adverse possession (also known as a form of “squatters rights”) is the process where someone occupies and makes use of land for which they are not the legal owner of, and they occupy and use the land without the consent of actual legal owner. Such an occupation can give rise to possible ownership claims and the occupier can ultimately be granted legal ownership of the land if they apply to the Land Registry with sufficient evidence to satisfy the Land Registry requirements.
