Adverse Possessions

We offer land surveying services to establish and confirm property boundaries across Melbourne and rural Victoria.

Whether you are making a claim of adverse possession or addressing a dispute related to land ownership, our experienced surveyors can assist with a thorough land survey.

While cases of adverse possession are fairly unusual, when they do arise they require the complicated and technical services of an experienced Licensed Land Surveyor.

Adverse possession in Victoria

Property law differs across states in Australia. In Victoria, the legal rule of adverse possession allows the occupier of a piece of land to obtain ownership, if they can prove exclusive and uninterrupted possession of the land for 15 years or more.
