Commercial Land
Discussion
We own a commercial building & an area of land for car parking.
We want to purchase the remaining area of land so that we own the full yard. We would have to share this with another business.
For the past 20 years the council have been parking on this land as well, the land is at the back of there building & technically its my front door.
A few years back they knocked a hole in the rear of the building & fitted some washing equipment & their vehicles use it as an unofficial washing station.
My question is that as they have unoffically used the area for parking for 20 years do they have any rights to continue using it when we buy the remaining land ?
I'd probably come to an agreement with them if they wanted an area for parking but this would be chargeable & on my terms
Hope it makes sense & thanks in advance

If they have done so with the permission of the owner then unlikely but you would probably have to go through the required process to stop them.
If they have done so without the permission of the owner who hasn't objected, then possibly yes.

The council have parked on the land without permission, The land owner isnt aware of the in's & out's. He's based offshore & as such this parcel of land isnt of much use to him.
Its worth more to me than anyone else.
I've checked the deeds & their isnt anything on them about allowing the council right of way only that the other business is given right of way & nothing about parking.
This is in Scotland if it makes the law different.
I dont want to alert anyone incase the council or the land owner pick up on it
