Squatting in a residential property became an offence in September 2012, but the courts have yet to determine whether an existing trespasser will be able to acquire title by adverse possession based on occupation before 1 September 2012 but where the requisite 12 year period has not expired by that date. The article examines the case law on both prescription and adverse possession and suggests that R (on the application of Wayne Smith) v Land Registry (Peterborough Office) [2009] EWHC 328 (Admin) may not be conclusive of the question and that the exception contained in Bakewell Management Ltd v Brandwood [2004] UKHL 14 may apply
