(i) Regularly inspect your property (in particular if it is property/land where you do not reside). If you are aware of anyone occupying your land, you should take legal advice in respect of evicting those persons.
(ii) Register any unregistered land. This will ensure that you fall within the new 2002 regime which is weighted in favour of the owner of the land.
(iii) Keep the Land Registry up to date with your address for service of documents so that if anyone makes an application in relation to your land, it comes to your attention. You can give the Land Registry email addresses or overseas addresses if necessary.
