Check my address
Mark your home and see unregistered land touching it. Land next to your own property is the most realistic claim there is.
Saved plots
Shortlist plots and track each one from visited to applied to register, with your own notes and dates.
Dissolved-company land
A separate map of property still registered to companies that no longer exist. It may have passed to the Crown, which sometimes sells it.
Every plot gets a score
From 0 to 100, for how realistic a claim would be. Successful claims are almost always small, neglected plots next to someone’s home, so that’s what scores highest. The free counts include plots scoring 50 or more.
- 75–100Small, neglected, next to homes. The realistic ones.
- 55–74Promising, with a catch: bigger, or a less certain use.
- 40–54Worth a look, but probably in use or awkward.
- Under 40Likely farmed, public, protected or common land.
Please note: unregistered doesn’t mean unowned
Registration only became compulsory when land was sold, so land held by the same family, estate, church or council for decades often isn’t on the register. Many plots on the map are owned and some are in use. The score helps you find the promising ones; you still need to visit, check with HM Land Registry and take legal advice.

Is claiming land like this legal?
Yes. Adverse possession is part of the law of England and Wales. For unregistered land you generally need 12 years of exclusive physical possession, without the owner’s permission, before you can apply to be registered. It isn’t quick, and you can’t enter or fence land you don’t have a right to be on without risk. Take advice first.
Where does the data come from?
HM Land Registry’s index of every registered freehold, Ordnance Survey open mapping, Natural England and Natural Resources Wales common-land records, and Companies House. Full details.
How accurate is it?
Plot outlines are accurate to a metre or two, but the Land Registry index is approximate and doesn’t show every lease, so some plots will turn out to be registered. Always confirm with HM Land Registry before acting.
Does it cover Scotland or Northern Ireland?
No. Neither publishes the open registration data this needs, and Scottish law doesn’t allow claims in the same way.
Can I cancel?
You can stop your yearly renewal at any time from your account and keep access until the year you’ve paid for ends.
