Hi,
beside my father's house is a disused laneway. The laneway has been disused since the house was built in 1958 at which point my parents bought it. I can not find out who owns the laneway (definitely not the council's) and runs alongside the semi-detached house. To the rear of the laneway is a cliff and a river. The laneway is not lit and is not paved and is over grown with trees and prickly bushes. I want to takeover the laneway, without my father's knowledge, so that at some point (when I ultimately inherit it) I will have access to it. My father has no need nor want for it and likewise for the neighbour at the othr side of the lane. How can I best take it over? Someone suggested applying for Squatter's Rights ... if so how do I do that?
Thanks!
