Original Note:
The post gives the impression that one need only occupy a property to claim ownership of it. Under the law of adverse possession in the UK, to get ownership, a person has to be in possession for ten years, and then use a process that will allow the true owner to object. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adverse-possession-of-registered-land/practice-guide-4-adverse-possession-of-registered-land
