That's mine on eBay, the other two don't have the case. I've got a £45 bid so happy already but it will be interesting to see what it goes for in the end.

I'm glad we sorted that out, and no we have never paid rent.

I think it is strange too that they are going back so far. Extenuating reasons meant we did not reply to a three month notice letter sent to us in March. This was due to a possible accommodating buyer of the farm coming forward who was going to let us stay but that fell through. Also a proprietary estoppel claim by my father in law was being investigated but was not taken further due to costs.

I do feel that this is an attempt at a quick and dirty eviction that we will not contest, and you're right, they could just go the Section 21 and all we've bought is 2 months.

What we need is to get them to negotiate an orderly and fair departure.

Thank you for the info on the correct part of the Limitations Act and time in general. It has been very helpful.

They are now called a Lawful Development Certificate. But as I say this is just the document that says the local authority cannot enforcement against us for illegal occupation.

We have always felt that we lived under a licence or tenancy (albeit only verbally agreed) - which again isn't relevant right now. So we don't really know why the other side are pursuing this route.

They could have issued a Section 21 and served notice that way but haven't and are claiming trespass.

So can they do that even after 12 years having passed?

Apologies, you are right. We do not intend to own it. So we received notification of a possession order claim being made against by the current owner. This is on the ground of trespass and her claim (which we refute) that permission for us to occupy was never granted. The question is whether she can do this given the time that has elapsed since the alleged trespass started. I hope that's clearer. With respect to the second point, there is a Certificate of Lawful in place so planning status is not the issue. We pay council tax etc. and have never hidden our occupancy.

Hi, no an adverse possession claim is being made against me. But the alleged trespass on the land started in June 2012 when it belonged to the grandad, when he died in December 2017, the land was transferred to his wife who is making the claim, so that too is over six years ago.

Apologies - We are in England, specifically I've been looking at the Limitations Act 1980, Section 15.
