How To Get Land FOR FREE! (UK)

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: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B095RXFQX4/ref=dbs_a_d…

I prefer the old method. All you need is a sword, and some mates with swords.

whispers “it’s free real estate”

I've got extra land added to my garden. An unowned area of land behind my fence line was just an area no one could use so all we had to do was move our fence line. That was over 30 years ago. It's now been added to the property plans.

hey guys, just a friendly reminder that sleeping is important

i took possession of land abandoned for years it was used for fly tipping now its a quarter of an acer paradise that ime building a house and the locals love it i grow fruit and veg there and give it away to passers by

we should all claim land and create nature reserves

We need to build eco safe places to escape from what's going on and keep our children safe. Excellent info.

Someone in my town done this a few years ago we didn’t know until he built a house on it apparently he had been looking after that piece of land for 20 years so he had it all planned and told no one

No strings attached? The fact that the owner could appear anywhere in the next 12 years and claim it back is a rather big string.

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.

You've inspired me to pop down to my local old people's home and draw up a list of all the possessions they own so when they die shortly I can adversely claim as my own all their earthly belongings, they won't need them anyway when they're dead and I'll have everything. Lovely, thanks mate, you beautiful person😘ps if you ever get diagnosed with a terminal illness let me know, that's a nice plot you've snaffled there

I took over a roundabout once in Ellesmere Port, it was absolutely brilliant, set up a protest campsite inside the roundabout,we had a kitchen, living room and loo,we build our house's out of pallets, we used solar panels for lights etc

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!!

I did this in an urban plot that at that point no one had any interest in. East London. 25 years later and developers are offering me £££££.

Cheers for this, been looking into it for a little while as there are lots of disused abandoned plots in between buildings, houses, shops, railways, in my local urban area. I will be getting on the ebook and familiarizing myself with the process, getting some hardwearing "no trespassing" signs made up, getting a burner for contact for this purpose, and claiming some plots of urban soil!

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.

I'm in my 60's now so a bit late to be starting on this path. But wish I'd known about this 30 years ago.

Wee guy was walking through a field and a guy on a horse comes riding over to him. "Here you get off my land!" he says. The wee guys asks how it's his land. "Well my fore bearers fought for the King and was given the land as a thank you". "That right" says the wee guy, "Well get off your horse and I'll fight you for it now!!"

When you 'own' it, you can then start dealing with the local planners ! Good luck in building your hut.
