• Adopting Waste Land

    By Guest on 26th Jul 2021

    Hello
    We are in the process of buying a property where the previous owners adopted some waste land into their garden. It was a large piece of inaccessible land that was seemingly divided up between neighbours circa 35 years ago. Some of the neighbours have since officially adopted their portion of the land with the land registry, but the property we are trying to buy has never been registered with the land registry.
    I understand you need to prove continual use of the land for 12 years to adopt it, but would this 12 year count reset if we buy the property, or would we be able to make the claim immediately on completion based on the use by the previous owner?
    Thanks for your help.
