Unregistered Land

<p>Hi Adam, (K526244 Martlets)</p> <p>Well it’s been a while and that very complex case you alluded some time ago to, is finally on the road to being sorted. Our solicitor submitted an adverse possession request on Tuesday 10th June regarding land that somehow now falls within the Granges title (K519480). The chain is stilling holding at the moment but our buyers buyer is now threatening to pull out (they have already lost one previous buyer) if he doesn’t get anything positive soon.</p> <p>Would you be able to tell me&#160;if or when the letter regarding the adverse possession will be sent to the title owner of The Grange, everyone, including the owner of The Grange&#160;is trying to get this sorted.</p> <p>Kind regards&#160;</p> <p>sally&#160;</p> <p></p>

Hi Sally - glad things are still intact. Their response/additional paperwork needs to be reviewed by the casework team/lawyer dealing with the matter so I am unable to advise as to when any letter might be issued to the affected parties as appropriate.<br> You will need to let the process play out&nbsp;<br> K526244 &amp;&nbsp;K519480

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>Thank you for the super quick reply. I guess we’re hoping that because lots of stuff has&#160;already been discussed between our solicitors and land registry that it won’t be too long before it’s actioned.</p> <p>kins regards</p> <p>sally&#160;</p>

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>we applied for amendment to title plan originally and as a result of that an Ordnance Survey surveyor attended and plotted all&#160;our boundaries at the request of Land Registry before Easter.</p> <p>I believe&#160;this application for Adverse possession is&#160;being&#160;dealt with by the Senior Officer&#160;Mr Ian P Jones, he is the same gentleman that has been in this from the beginning.</p> <p>Having read other posts on here about adverse possession, some mention a surveyor attending, will they need to send Ordnance Survey again or will that first visit be enough?</p> <p>Would you please be able to explain the order of how an adverse possession moves forward? As I&#160;said yesterday, we have already spoken to the owner of the land in question, he is as confused as us about how all this has happened, he is more than happy to do whatever Land registry ask of him and as quickly as possible, so I assume that also removes the 65 working days it can take when contacting the land owner? What else happens in this whole procedure?</p> <p>Thank you&#160;</p> <p>Sally&#160;</p>

Hi Sally - that will be up to the casework team/senior officer to decide. If the OS visit was recent then I suspect not but all depends what their report revealed of course<br> A survey and/or wider checks with affected landowners are the two key stages re such applications. Both you and the owner will need to be patient and wait for any contacts to be made. Responses can then be provided as appropriate.<br> 65 days is the standard period allowed for an owner of registered land to respond<br> If anyone is confused then they must rely on their legal reps to guide them and explain not only what's happening but why. This is especially true in a sale/purchase scenario as it is for the respective conveyancers to manage their client's expectations re the whole conveyancing process. That includes any pending applications for registration&nbsp;<br> K526244 &amp;&nbsp;K519480

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>The confusion is only around the piece of land in question, the owner of the Granges comment when we spoke to him, was “I’ve never owned that land, that’s your garden and driveway” Fortunately we all get on and there is no angst about any of it.</p> <p>He is also keen to get it all sorted asap as he’s aiming to put his on the market when it’s ready.</p> <p>Thank you again for the update, it’s got to&#160;be sorted however long it takes and we totally understand that.</p> <p>Sally&#160;</p> <p></p>

<p>Morning Adam,</p> <p>sorry to bother you, I&#160;wondered if you would be able to help? We were informed by our solicitor&#160;on Wednesday last week that Land Registry need another survey done by OS to check the land involved in the adverse possession.</p> <p>The solicitor was informed that both neighbours and us had been written to and I assume this is with a view to booking the surveyors visit. She included a link for us which we returned to Ordnance Survey immediately, but to date neither neighbour has received any correspondence. I remember&#160;the last time, the letter was sent first class and arrived 2 days after it was sent. Is there anyway you are able to find out what date these letters were posted please, also are they able to use the same link that they used for the previous survey.(<a href="http://www.os.uk/surveyorvisit">http://www.os.uk/surveyorvisit</a>) (K526244 &amp; K519480 &amp; K650326)</p> <p>&#160;They are all trying to help us and move it forward as quickly as possible.</p> <p>kind&#160;regards</p> <p>Sally &#160;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>

Afternoon Sally - letters were issues 1st class on 18th June re the survey needed and included the same link you refer to&#160;<br> K526244 &amp; K519480 &amp; K650326

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>many many thanks for that. I will tell the neighbours and get the forms submitted. Have a good day</p> <p>KInd regards&#160;</p> <p>Sally&#160;</p>

Morning Adam,<br> Would you please be able to check if all the survey requests have actually been received? Other than the automated reply to the link we haven't heard from OS about the survey yet and last time they were in contact within 2 days, the requests from us and the two neighbours were all submitted via that link on Tuesday 18th June<br> (K52644 K519480 &amp; K650326)<br> Also for the information of the case officer Mr Ian P Jones to date none of the letters sent out on the 18th June have been received<br> Kind regards<br> Sally&#160;

Morning Sally - we don't track the OS service so can't check as to what actions they are taking re the site visit<br> Noted re non-receipt of letters as issued although the delay may simply be down to the postal speed as 1st class is not always as quick as perhaps the days gone by - I'll share your comments with the casework team though but do let me know if the letters arrive today/weekend also&#160;<br> If they have all used the OS link to make the arrangements then delayed receipt of the letters won't stop the process.<br> K526244&#160;

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>Many thanks for the reply, they all used the link and have had the confirmation email, I’ll chase OS, they were helpful last time&#128522; Please be kind enough to let Mr Ian P Jones know that we are trying to sort this as quickly as possible, as we are very aware he is doing the same from his end.</p> <p>I will let you know as and when any one gets a letter about it. ironically our usual postman was on leave last week and we know for a fact&#160;that there was no cover for him at the end of the week, ie about&#160;the time the letters should have arrived, a rough guess would be there is a bag of mail somewhere. fortunately our postman is a very helpful guy and he’s on the case for us.&#160;</p> <p>kind regards&#160;</p> <p>Sally&#160;</p> <p></p>

<p>Morning Adam,</p> <p>The letters didn't arrive Friday or Saturday and not today either. &#129335;&#127996;‍♀️</p> <p>kind regards&#160;</p> <p>Sally</p>

Hi Sally - the casework team will re issue the letters asap for completeness<br> K526244&#160;

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>Many thanks. I’ll let the neighbours know they are coming but that they don’t require any action as ordnance survey are already on the case</p> <p>Regards&#160;</p> <p>Sally</p>

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>Just so you’re aware, the three letters arrived in the post today, dated 18th June, I remember from&#160;before duplicate letters were sent out&#160;for the last survey, so I have no idea if these are the originals or the second lot. I’ll let you know of we get another lot.</p> <p>Kind regards</p> <p>Sally&#160;</p>

Good Morning Adam,<br> I wonder if it would be possible to clarify something for me? As you have hopefully seen from the message I put on here yesterday, the request letters to arrange the survey have arrived.&#160;<br> There is some confusion regarding an additional letter that may or may not have been sent to Mr Mark Burton, The Grange K519480.<br> Would you be able to ascertain if a letter has been sent to him asking if he has any objection to the adverse possession?&#160;<br> if so when was it posted and would it have been first class. He has told us he has not received any such communication.<br> <br> Kind regards&#160;<br> Sally&#160;

Sally - I'm not aware of any corres to date being issued to the owner of&#160;K519480

<p>Hi Adam,</p> <p>Many thanks, we did think that was the case.&#160;<br> Sally&#160;</p>

<p>Morning Adam,</p> <p>I have contacted Ordnance Survey for an update on the requested survey of the boundaries. I have been informed this morning that the survey was carried out and returned to Land Registry on 1st July 2025, would you be allowed to confirm that for me please?&#160;If so when will the letter get sent or has it already been sent to our neighbour at the Grange?(K519480) As you're aware our post is very hit and miss.</p> <p>Kind regards&#160;</p> <p>Sally&#160;&#160;</p> <p>(Martlets K526244)</p>
