Yes! Yes you can, however the process is a little bit more complex. Learn more about claiming land for free with Unclaimed Land maps.
All land in the UK can be claimed for free with adverse possession – the problem is the owner naturally has a right to kick you off the land or challenge the transferal of title deeds if they so wish. Therefore, you want to be looking for abandoned land rather than land which is actively looked after by the owner. To claim land for free you must occupy the land for a set number of years (at least 10 years) before you can claim the land in your name – learn more with our detail article on the process here.
All land in the UK has an owner, however some land is not registered with HM Land Registry meaning the owner is generally unknown. Therefore, as an adverse possessor looking to get free land you want to look for unregistered land. Once you have reached the required number of years for your plot of land to claim, the land registry will contact the land owner on file to give them a chance to challenge you but, with unregistered land, they have no contact details. This means abandoned land which is also unregistered has the greatest likelihood of succeeding.
