To Claim Free Land Or Property
If you think claiming free land or property is a new concept which is being practiced in recent times, then you are wrong. This has been going on since time immemorial and you could find examples of this from your history books.One instance from history can be quoted in this respect when the new settlers in America started claiming the free land as their own and built houses and farmland on it.
Returning to more recent times, it might be said that there are innumerable such vacant and unused plots of land which are lying unclaimed waiting for someone to ahead and register it in his name.Identification of the property can be said to be the first step for you. Since you can’t claim anything and everything you see, being selective about your piece of free property and thereafter indulging in a bit of detective work is the best way for you in this.
An unclaimed piece of property would always have some sure signs about them. You need to be able to identify such plots with their overgrown gates and gardens, broken and bordered up windows, shrub lands,casual dresses, derelicts, unused garages or even the abandoned commercial premises and industrial buildings.Remember that you will only identify these sure signs if you take a walk around your locality instead of driving about in your car. These signs are not much obvious and you have to be observant while you walk around your neighborhood.
Registration check is the second step after property identification. You need to check with the land registry to see whether the plot of land you have selected is at all registered or not. In essence, the outcome can be any one of the three – Registered, Unregistered or Pending first Application.If the Land registry tells you that it is already registered, it might be that the owner is dead or his relatives do want the property. It might also be the case that the owner has abandoned this plot of land and moved away abroad.If your selected piece of land is not registered it has no owner and refers to not being registered ever before. This situation might be stated as the best for your claiming purposes though the task of owner tracing would become slightly tough for you.
