Good afternoon, 

We were nearing the end of our house sale and purchase of a property. Unfortunately during conveyancing stage it was discovered that the garden didn't match the deed, but with it being like this for nearly 15 years and no objection from owner of land, an adverse possesion application with expidition was sent.  

The application was submitted at the begining of September and the latest update I received was that expidation has been accepted but this was a few weeks ago, we've not received an update since and we have not been given an application number from the conveyencers for the house we are purchasing for this application. 

The house details are:

Address: 51 Curlew Drive, Scarborough
Postcode: Y012 4TP

I'm looking to see what our reference number is, and where we are up to? We have a cash buyer for our property who is becoming inpoatient due to this, so any updates we can provide to them would be most appreciated. It would also help us manage our removal company too. 

Thanks

Good Morning Nathan - the application has been partially processed. Looks like we need to arrange a site visit/survey by Ordnance Survey but I'll check with the casework team to confirm.
If we do then we will write to the property owners and conveyancer as appropriate to advise
NYK240425 is the title number for the property which includes the claimed land

Hi Nathan - letters will be issued today re the need for a site visit/survey. Once OS have reported back, usually within 2 weeks.
Once they have reported back the final stage will be wider checks/notices as appropriate - see PG 4 section 3.5 for details
Your conveyancer should be aware of the process and be able to advise also

Thanks for providing that update, we'll check in in a couple of weeks. 

Have a good day,

Hi Adam, 

Just looking to see if there is an update on this application? 

I've recently spoken with the estate agents for the property we are purchasing and they advised OS conducted their site visit a week or so ago. Can you see whether their report has been drawn up and sent over? If so, what are the next steps?

If not, when is this expected to arrive and next steps? 

Many Thanks

Hi Nathan - OS report is in and the final stage should be reached shortly, namely wider checks with affected registered owner(s) as appropriate. I'll check with the casework team to see if they can advise when those checks are due to start
