FR1 form for adverse possession of unregistered land

greatcrested

I do wonder though about the difference between

* using the land as a ROW under licence from the owner, and

* using the land without the owner's licence, as one'own: ".... for 30 years to park a trailer and a store cabin, as well as a depository of land scape materials."

That latter is, surely, a trespass?

Good question and I am not a lawyer but I suspect that being in breach of a licence is (from a legal perspective) very different to being without a licence. Fundamentally the OP has the right to be on the land (so cannot claim adverse possession) even if they then do something on the land that they don't have a right to.

The thanks are appreciated and to be honest if we aren’t quick we won’t beat most of you regular posters to the MSE draw. 

Fortunately, and as you all know already, you only need a mobile device to participate so office hours don’t always need to be applied. 

As far as such claims go the law re both land and easements are very complex. The registration requirements are often easier to follow

A checking question for you though is if you already have pretty much exclusive use and no-one has complained in 30 years then how much time and money is it worth to get the land registered in your name?

That is a good question, because my understanding is even though it has not been used, the right of way does still exist and this would not change if you owned the land.  You would still have the risk of the other properties with right of way resuming their use and demanding a clear route through your stuff.
