Registry and undertaken associated work such as advising on evidence, legal principles, procedure, statutory declarations and ADV1 / FR1 forms.
Hannah Jameel has a successful track record in adverse possession applications. Recently she has been successful in a variety of adverse possession applications, including a town house worth £1.4 million pounds, a terraced house worth £800,000, a semi-detached house worth £400,000 and a commercial property worth £750,000.
Hannah Jameel is experienced in the area of adverse possession and have successfully brought and defended adverse possession applications, tribunal and court claims. Hannah Jameel was involved in the case of Mr Keith Best in the Court of Appeal, against the Land Registry, in one of the leading court cases on adverse possession.
Hannah has acted for homeowners who have found themselves unable to sell their properties due to their title plans not showing the general extent of their properties. In one case a leasehold plan did not mirror the respective freehold. An application was made using historical plans and information in order for a basement to be incorporated within the boundaries of the leasehold plan.
Hannah has also acted to register a boundary agreement in order to update a boundary, where it appeared the corner of a property was in another’s property, despite the house being over fifty years old.
The case of Clapham v Narga [2024] EWCA Civ 1388 demonstrates that buyers need to look not only at the HM Land Registry title plans of any prospective title plans, but must take undertake enquiries as to where a boundary maybe.
Unless a boundary is determined, boundaries will fall under the general boundary rule. There is no measurement attached to the relationship between the boundary on an HM Land Registry title plan and the position of the actual legal boundary. There is in fact no limit to the amount of land that may fall within the scope of this rule.
Examples of recent work include:
W v S (First Tier Tribunal, Property Chamber) Successful in an adverse possession tribunal claim for a part of a residential garden in Manchester.
E v H (First Tier Tribunal, Property Chamber) Successful in a contested adverse possession tribunal claim for a residential house in Surrey.
In the matter of D (Adverse Possession application) Successful in an application for adverse possession of a residential house in London.
In the matter of P (Adverse Possession application) Successful in an application for adverse possession of commercial land in London.
