THE BOATS THAT CLAIMED THE THAMES

Moorings, the Thames and Adverse Possession.

Can a boat help you acquire land? What rights come with a mooring on the River Thames? How does adverse possession affect riverside property owners?

In this episode of When Land Meets the Sea, Richard Snape and Elizabeth Collin explore mooring rights and adverse possession along one of Britain's most famous waterways: the River Thames.

Richard discusses how long-term occupation of land adjoining the river can give rise to adverse possession claims, and the legal issues that arise when moorings, boundaries and ownership rights become blurred over time.
