The property in question is an 80-square-yard house in Rasoolpura, Secunderabad, which was sold in 1988, but due to an unpaid balance, the previous owner's family continued residing there. Although the property title was transferred, no formal agreement was made regarding the pending payment. In 2024, the new owners' sons are seeking possession and have offered ₹10 lakh to vacate, even though the market value is around ₹80 lakh. The family has lived on the property for over 30 years, paying property taxes. We seek advice on the viability of claiming ownership through adverse possession, negotiating a fair settlement, and preparing for potential eviction actions. Please let me know if you're available for a consultation.
Sir, your family may have a valid claim for adverse possession, as you have occupied the house for over 30 years, meeting the 12-year requirement. You must demonstrate that the occupation was adverse, uninterrupted, and without consent. It is advisable to negotiate a fair settlement and consult a lawyer for eviction defense.
