Adverse Possession

We are leading property litigation Solicitors in Southampton and have built a wealth of experience in the practice.

An Adverse Possession claim is a complex procedure in which someone who has occupied a building for more than 10 years but who is not its legal owner becomes registered as such. It involves several key factors but if you are seeking to establish an adverse possession claim, our Solicitors can help.

We can provide advice at an early stage and present you with all your options. We can also oversee Alternative Dispute Resolution to determine whether the matter can be handled without going to court.

We advise you not to enter into any communication with the land owner without ensuring the correspondence might not affect your application. As timing is crucial, our Solicitors will advise you on when exactly your application ought to be made to give you the best chancing of winning your claim.

Many of our clients come to us after the Land Registry has rejected their application. We highly advise that our clients come to us before submitting their application to ensure a successful application.
