Original Note:
The house was abandoned by the original owner in 1996, who was not an old man at the time. The law of adverse possession allows abandoned property to be claimed based on continuous possession, as occurred in this case. The new owner expended considerable funds on renovation. https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/12/13/squatter-wins-rights-to-london-home-sells-it-for-nearly-1m/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/10813937/Builder-wins-landmark-victory-for-squatters-rights.html
