Hi,
We are about to purchase a small piece of land, there is a possibility that a farmer who has adjoining land and has been cutting hay on this land may have a case for adverse possession of this land.
Does the sale of this land to us (by the registered owner) negate any claim he may have?
Also, this land has been used by countless people as part of a walking route for generations, would this fact disqualify any claim the farmer has, as he would not be able to prove 'sole, exclusive' possession?
We will of course be seeking assistance from a solicitor in due course but I would like to be prepared for any meeting.
Thanks
