  • How to get land completely for free in the UK - no strings attached. I recently acquired some land, completely for free - here's how you can do the same. I outline how you can claim unowned and unclaimed land for free, in the UK - through a process called adverse possession.
    This method is ideal for those looking to transition into off-grid living, homesteading, sustainable farming - or for those looking for somewhere to practice their bushcraft and survival antics.

    The interest in this has been huge, and I have received dozens of messages asking for help, advice and even consultancy offers. So, I've spent the last few months writing an e-book - a fully comprehensive guide to claiming land. Every little detail you may need on your journey, every little thing to think about, has been included - from finding a suitable plot of land to making your claim to getting planning permission. This e-book is designed to hold your hand from a mild interest in the matter (perhaps after watching this video) to being a fully fledged owner of your own piece of land, which you acquired free of charge. You can get a copy (e-book or paperback) here:

    Easiest way to find unregistered land in a town is to look for huge trees that are blocking everyone's satelite signal. Phone your council explaining that you'd like the trees managed/cut back to allow a signal through to your house and the council will then deny ownership of that land. They'll probably tell you somebody else to call and they also will deny ownership. Then you can put in a claim. If you can obtain letters from all (so called owners) before placing a claim, then even better!!

    Kerrbear... here's a 'trade secret' for you to ensure this works. This trick goes back a long, long way into history, but isn't commonly known.
    Find a small plaque of lead and inscribe your name, personal details and the date you fenced the area. Have a witness add their details and then, ask them to accompany you when you bury it beneath one of your fence corner posts.
    I can guarantee it helps you win if it comes to future legal contestations.

IF one person inherited, abandoned and forgot something, and never pays their taxes... never cleans the trash, the erosion, the infested trees, invasive species, etc... then another person (human) should be able to take ownership through CARE and HARD WORK. Nobody said they want all property to be reassigned. Nobody said that they want to steal occupied houses or tilled soil. And PS. It's 15 years here. Imagine paying taxes and caring for land for 15 years, and nobody shows up. Nobody fights. Sorry, dude, at that point, the RIGHT thing to do is allow a new owner. I know you probably haven't studied the law, but it's not the same thing as legal statutes. A legal statue says "you own this forever.. blah blah". The LAW says "you need to clean up your trash, protect the water supply, stop disease, eliminate parasites, prevent crime, and abandoned means "free". In my case, I'm dealing with an abandoned lot that EVEN THE POWER COMPANY STOLE 2 ACRES ALREADY BECAUSE THATS HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN ABANDONED. THERE WAS NOBODY TO ASK FOR PERMISSION SO THEY STOLE IT. So , if the power company is able to steal that land for a power line, after it was abandoned for 50+ years... why couldn't I build a fence and a house and PAY THE TAX. ? The problem with abandoned property is that it's a magnet for trash, homeless people, criminals, pests and disease... etc. Broken Windows theory

    Interesting video. The hard part is finding unowned land in an area where the land is actualy useful and within a useful proximity of anything. That's the case in Australia at least. All the good arable land and near the coast is claimed, owned and protected. Some back country areas might have abandoned / unowned land though. So this is only useful if you're happy to have the dregs most people can't be bothered with. As Australia has laws based on UK land laws, it's a very similar system and process here too.

    if land is useful, it's being used already. development requires planning permission. To claim it you need to develop it. Catch 22 applies. Owning unproductive or remote/difficult access land is a pain in the arse. There are still a few good finds I imagine but few and far between. unfortunately. My tip is if you find somewhere that looks abandoned try and get a holding number from the local council. Holding numbers are a sort of smallholder animal farmer registration. You can't keep pigs for example without one.

Would inadvertently encroaching on owned land void your entire claim? How do you define access to your land?

    Seems easy doesn’t it? In reality to own it legally you need to occupy it for more 12 years, demonstrate use over that period and exclude it from the world. You will need to spend money and pay and dues for services arising on the property such as council tax and supply services. Also remember that the land might have been abandoned for a reason ie. contaminated and you might be acquiring a liability which is subject to tree preservation orders, could be an area of S S I , could be in green belt so you will not get planning permission. Also remember that if the documentary title holder has the deeds and you have entered the land with force, with secrecy and knowing something about who owns the land you could end up in the civil courts. I would advise everyone to read HM Land Registry Guides 4 and 5 ( free online to read) before doing anything.
