Can anyone tell me the laws on claiming a piece of land in the UK.
How do you go about making a claim for an unused piece of land?
I did hear about some people in Wales who claimed land to extened their gardens.
Anyone done somthing like this?

Now this is an interesting one,
Talking about a feild that lies unattended etc for simplicity sake.
If you occupy a peice of land, and no-one raises objection to it for 7 years, it, by law, becomes your land.
If someone does object, then it is THEIR burden of proof that they own the land (They may produce the deeds of the land, which counts as evidence)
You may want to to check with your area council for advice on the individual position, but ussually their land office has registry of who owns what.

That land must belong to somebody. To find out check with the Land Registry. If you put a fence around that land and no one challenges you after 12 years it becomes yours.

If the lan id for no one and you occupy the place for more than 10 year, then you can make a cliam and it will be yours. you would be supprised to know that if a person rents out your house for more than 10 years, he can get your propety, so you have a really good chance. Gud luck
