ποΈ Fredericks Shaw Ltd is a boutique law firm, regulated by the Bar Standards Board of England and Wales. The Principal of Fredericks Shaw Ltd is Hannah Jameel, a practising barrister, authorised to conduct litigation and public access qualified.
π Hannah was called to the Bar in 2003. She commenced her career at the independent bar before moving to in-house positions at City of London law firms. Before founding Fredericks Shaw Ltd, she practised in a City of London firm with a specialism in adverse possession and has extensive experience in this area.
Fredericks Shaw Ltd is a specialist adverse possession law firm. Hannah Jameel has made adverse possession applications to the Land 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:
π A townhouse worth Β£1.4 million pounds
ποΈ A terraced house worth Β£800,000
π‘ A semi-detached house worth Β£400,000
π’ A commercial property worth Β£750,000
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.
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 anotherβs 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 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.
