• * Update/Intermediate

When buying or selling property - whether residential or commercial - it is not uncommon to discover that part (at least!) of the title is based on adverse possession. The commencement date of the Land Registration Act 2002 on 13th October 2003 is vital as the law on adverse possession changed dramatically. This course will adopt a practical approach to provide the busy conveyancer with a ready-reference guide to this complex area of law as well as an update on recent cases.

• * Are you giving up to date advice to your clients in this area?
• What do you have to prove to show adverse possession?
• What is the position where the land in question is unregistered?
• What is the position where the land is registered and the squatter can prove 12 years adverse possession prior to 13/10/2003?
• What is the position where the land is registered and the squatter CANNOT prove 12 years adverse possession prior to 13/10/2003?
• Has the 2002 Act virtually abolished adverse possession as a means of obtaining title?
• What class of title can you expect to be registered with?
• How can you resist a claim to adverse possession?

It will also include:

• * Form and content of necessary statutory declarations
• Land Registry rules and requirements
• Tactical considerations for claimants and defendants
• Practical case studies
