Hello
I have found a house which further research revealed to be 'bona vacantia' - trouble is, it's quite dilapidated.
I heard somewhere that when a property is in such a state as to be a burden the Treasury Solicitor will just disclaim it, but how likely is this to be before the statutory 10 or 12 year period?
Of course I could take adverse possession of it now, but given the terrible state it's in I'd like to know where I stand before spending any money on it.
Any advice would be appreciated, particularly from people who have dealt with the TS before.
