How Do you claim abandoned buildings which have overgrown more than 5 years?

Couple of places i have spoted over the past 5 years which have become overgrown and abandoned without the owner no where to be seen.I would like to know how would you claim these buildings for your own use?

 

Jobby on the doorstep, place a flag in said turd bearing your name and NI number.

 

that`s where the term " squatting " came from.

 

Jonno, did you kill the owners 5 years ago?

Yer missus and her sister?

Is that how it works then? Murder someone, then if you get away with it 5 years later you can claim their property? sounds fair to me.

 

nO BUT WHAT PUZZLES ME IF ITS JUST LYING THEIR EMPTY FOR 5 YEARS OR MORE AND NO SITE OF ANY OWNER THEN SERIOUSLY HOW DO U CLAIM LAND FOR YOUR OWN USE?I DID HERE PUT A NOTE ON THE WALL WITH PHONE NUMBER BUT NOT TO SURE ON THIS?IVE HEARD THAT YOU CAN CLAIM IT IF NO OWNER BEEN SEEN MORE THAN 2 YEARS BUT HAVE CONTACT COUNCIL FIRST I HOPE SOMEONE CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS

 

Better call Saul

Seriously, go see a solicitor, you might get off

 

Have you just been monitoring this house for 5 years non stop? Maybe the owner has been at the house while you have been otherwise occupied, such as when you've been sleeping or hanging about in mens toilets.

 

First you find out of it's on Land Registry.If it isn't you fence it off and wait.Used to be a year,not sure if it's changed.

 

Thanks above this is what i was told . Ive been walking past these properties for past 5 years all derelict and empty i will try and do what you said cryuff above fence it off and contact council they all been empty for at least 2 years or more from what i gather

 

When I first got a car my parent's house had no vehicular access but there was a piece of waste land about fifty metres away where all the locals parked.It had no owner and had been vacant as long as anyone could remember,which at that time went back to pre WW1.Some local sharpy tried to fence it off but his fence didnt last twenty four hours as the locals just knocked it down and carried on parking there.I drove past yesterday and it's still used for cars.

 

The Valley?

 

Hahahahahahaha
