Hannah Jameel is experienced in the area of adverse possession and has successfully brought and defended adverse possession applications, tribunal and court claims. She 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.

🏚️ Title Plan Issues

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.

πŸ“ Boundary Agreements

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.

πŸ“Œ Key Case: Clapham v Narga [2024] EWCA Civ 1388

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 undertake enquiries as to where a boundary may be.

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.
