How to purchase unregistered land?

stocktake · 1st March 2021, 18:24

At the back of our garden there is a small triangular plot of land, There is no access to this land as it is surrounded by gardens. We would like to purchase this land just to preserve the wildlife it contains. We have had a land registery search done and it appears that there is no known owner. This is where we come across the problem that nobody can tell us who to approach to purchase the plot. All the information we can get is that if we "use" the land unchallenged for a period of 10 or 12 years ( information varies) then it would be deemed as being ours??
Has anybody had any similar dealings like this please ??
