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?
Garages are great as you can rent them out and document it all to show ownership down the line. I loved heir hunters - brilliant show. The thing is, is it takes one 5th cousin to come out of the woodwork hence the years of ownership you have to do to claim the land. However, if you are 10000% certain, then what is the rush? Build houses on the land and rent them out if you want too.
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.
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.
@@OliverKuiz yes and will try to do what I can afford. Already trying to purchase some nice gates for the outside of the property to prevent anti social behaviour. Just wish I had more money to repair more. Do you get any compensation for showing the receipts? Say if the owner takes it to court to remove you after 3 years for example. It would be a lot of money lost too. Thanks.
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.
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
Railway land, like Crown land, military, etc is subject to different law and you cannot claim it. This is because its ownership is regulated by acts of Parliament.
@@danhorton6506 You can test it if you like, but would suggest you do seek legal advice before unintentionally committing a criminal offence. Railway land in U.K. is protected by Railway Regulation Act 1840, Section 16.
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
@@OliverKuizhi mate I can’t find the Facebook group. I fond I house has abandoned since 2016 . I check and is not registered. What is the next step? Can I go in ? Thanks
I'm a disabled veteran who can no longer work due to my disability so I receive housing benefits, my question is if I find a empty unregistered house and decide to possess it do I have to tell Universal credit immediately or can I wait till the 12 years are up and become the registered owner before I mention it to UC?
Abandoning property is not hard work. It's easy, you just walk off and let it rot. What's not easy is the work people do to unfuck the mess you created.
videos of you finding land would be interesting
I think so TOO :) I'll start the creation of the in the upcoming weeks.
I’ve known about this for years but not the finer details of how to do it, it’s fascinating thank you
You're welcome
Great tips for adverse possession Oliver, would love to see you do more.
That can be arranged :)
Good interesting video would like to see more of you doing this subject

document everything
Great video, how doe's it work for commercial properties? And what do you say to a locksmith???
I said to a locksmith that it was a relatives house who recently died. Commercial properties would be the same avenue to my understanding.
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.
Please reach out to me on Instagram at Oliver Kuiz and we can discuss this further :)

To gain ownership, you need to prove that you are bringing it up to standard. Keep all recipts
@@OliverKuiz yes and will try to do what I can afford. Already trying to purchase some nice gates for the outside of the property to prevent anti social behaviour.

Are they owned by that house?
@@OliverKuiz No, most definitely not. It’s a row of garages on a street.

There's alot of forgotten land left by network rail. I've seen a few people claim land this way
Railway land, like Crown land, military, etc is subject to different law and you cannot claim it. This is because its ownership is regulated by acts of Parliament.
@HYUKLDER1 are you qualified in this area of law? I'm pretty sure you can adversely possess railway land in UK
Maybe I'm wrong. It seems to be a grey area

The houses were last sold around 2004 and haven’t had anyone work on them since the purchase date
Yes. Adverse Possession. I have videos on it on my channel, or there is a dedicated Facebook group on the subject too

Wait until the 12 years. Taking possession doesn't increase your income and you don't live there either.
Wait 12 years
Can people from other countries also take part in this adverse possion scheme or not?
Yes. Forigeners can buy property in the UK so I don't see it as an issue.
NO!

Hi, i have one id like to claim

Squatting is crap; Learn a trade and help your community that way. This is just cheating peoples hard work.
Abandoning property is not hard work. It's easy, you just walk off and let it rot. What's not easy is the work people do to unfuck the mess you created.
What Kyle said
It's not Squatting. However, Squatting Laws go back to Oliver Cromwell and are part of Statute Law.
If the owners wanted that property or land they would do it but they dont so just goes to show that they didnt want it so let someone who do
@@OliverKuiz hi can you claim land that is coming up as title? Absolute
