This work covers disputes over land that is under register in England, including corrections to the title register, challenges to boundary lines, adverse possession claims, and disputes about rights or interests that affect registered land. A solicitor in this area handles applying to the Land Registry to register, rectify or remove entries, drafting and issuing applications or statements of case, and negotiating or progressing litigation in the courts to resolve who owns or can use land and what rights attach to it. The work is shaped by the mechanics of land registration, title checks, and any related boundary or easement disputes that arise during ownership or transfer.
