Owner: “Go away, I have the twig for this plot!”

Yeah, it's called "squatter's rights", and it kind of varies from different places that allow it, I think, but generally the trick is that you have to improve and maintain the property for a certain period of time; you can't just come and pitch a tent and strew garbage around and call it yours.

Not necessarily, Sam's over simplifying the situation to make it funny, it's not that this unregistered land lacks good title (legal, provable ownership), it's just that the current individual in possession of title isn't known to this specific registry. I'm not a solicitor, I'm not even British, but I am *currently* a law student in the US studying property law - our rules have diverged over the years in some key ways, but the broadest possible strokes of estate ownership don't really change. Adverse Possession (squatters rights) has a lot of complicated rules around it to protect both parties, but in general AP exists to foster the use of land, so you can only AP property that is not being used. If it is, then the person attempting to enter upon and take the land has no claim - either the person originally occupying the property (we'll call them A) is the true owner, in which case the adverse possessor (we'll call them B) has no claim; or A cannot prove title (they either have an incomplete deed, no deed, or some other problem with their deed) but has been in possession longer than B, which would mean A was in adverse possession longer than B, therefore giving A a stronger title. Essentially if someone is currently occupying it, you can't adverse possess the land out from under them (generally). IF the land is not being occupied, B *may* be able to enter upon the land through adverse possession, but it's not as simple as walking into a field and saying "this is mine." The rules of adverse possession are complicated, often contradictory, and not consistent across common law jurisdictions. But in general, if B entered upon the property, was actively using the land, doing so in an open manner, was in continuous occupancy (in terms of years, B can leave the property to go grocery shopping haha), and was the only person to do so THEN they can claim adverse possession after the statute of limitations runs out (usually 10-25 years). There is another requirement for adverse possession, "hostility," but it's complicated even for lawyers, so I'm not going to get into it here. If A shows up at any point within the statute of limits, and can prove good title (provide a deed, show chain of title from the original true owner to their current ownership, court documentation proving their title, anything), then B is out on their ass. Basically the Registry Sam is talking about isn't the sole authority on ownership, it's just a catalogue of current owners. You can, and should, have other proof of ownership (namely a deed).

So, claiming unregistered land by adverse possession in the UK (ie by being a squatter) takes 12 years. You have to provide proof that you've occupied the land without the consent of the owner for 12 years. If you do this, then you can apply to the land registry. They will then contact anybody they think might have an interest in the land and maybe put a notice in the local paper etc. If nobody comes forward to dispute their claim then the land belongs to the squatter. If the land is owned by the government, then the time period is increased to 30 years and if it's a beach or foreshore etc (which is owned by the Queen) then it's 60 years. "...if there is a current owner they'll have to prove that they own the land, which is harder when they've been trying to avoid the registry." Just because a property isn't registered doesn't mean that somebody has been trying to avoid it. All it means is that it has not been sold since 1990. If you (or your family eg grandfather etc) have bought a house or land or other property before 1990 and not sold it then it will not necessarily be registered. This is not at all uncommon. Even though a property is not registered that does not mean that there is no simple way to prove ownership. Proof of ownership will be evidenced by a bundle of title documents or deeds. Historically such deeds would have been required to be produced whenever there was a “dealing” with the property, for example, a change of ownership. The seller (via their conveyancer) of a property of unregistered land must provide evidence of title to the buyer by showing physical, documentary evidence of ownership from a point in time 15 years beforehand, right up to the present day. In conveyancing terms, this is also known as “deducing title”. In reality, these physical deeds will often go back decades or even hundreds or years. If the land is registered then it's much harder to gain adverse possession

@@NickLea very good summary but one small niggle - it means it hasn't been sold since 1990 OR hasn't had a grant of rights, been leased for more than seven years, or passed under a will since 2003 (I'm probably missing something there). The Land Registration Act 2002 expanded the number of transactions resulting in compulsory registration.

Then you’d be fine until the owner registers his land. In fact if it’s registered and the owner doesn’t kick you off the land within 10 years you can just claim the property, it’s 12 years if it’s not registered.
