Before you go ahead and search for solicitors that deal with conveyancing you may well just like to bear a point in mind: that you will automatically become liable for all visitors that may choose to venture onto your property. And when I say all - I really do mean it!
You see, this second Occupiers Liability Act was passed nearly thirty years after the first and was extended to cover trespassers onto your property. In other words, if burglars decide to venture onto your own land, you have a legal duty to protect them and ensure that they do not come to any harm - I know, this is totally ridiculous isn't is!
So, if you decide to place barbed wire or any other useful form of deterrent to keep unwelcome visitors out and you have failed to notify them accordingly, they have the legal right to sue you accordingly. The Act does not go as far as to ban the use of such deterrents, but it does make it very clear that you need to provide trespassers with a clear notice of the danger to them.
Although many people would argue that it is totally uncivilised not to have a law in this regard, even more people will fail to see the benefit of having such a statute in effect. They may well maintain that this is just another law that protects the rights of the wrongdoers, whilst the victims are failed to be protected yet again from our legal system.
Personally, I say get rid of this Act and do so right now! The rights of criminals have been protected too far and if a burglar dares to trespass onto my property - I'm sorry but they're fair game.
