My fiance and I purchased a house about a year ago in a small rural village.
Our house is detatched on a half acre site.
Directly next store is a small old cottege, on a plot which is surrounded on 2 sides by our garden and I understand has not been occupied for over 5 years.
The owner is allegedly an old lady in the UK who had inherited the cottege when her friend passed away.
Another neighbour on the other side of the cottege has been parking some of his business vehicles in the yard beside the cottege and I am wondering if they would have any squatter's rights in the event of the death of the owner?
Truthfully we would be very interested in buying and renovating the property for use as a holiday rental.
In the meantime we will be attempting to contact the owner but also wondered about the implications if she did not mention the cottege in a Will, how would ownership be established?
Appreciate any advise.
