If the Land Registry details for the property haven’t been updated to show the stolen land, then they are not ever going to sell it anyway.

Can't you claim adverse possession after a while (decade+)?

Juicy bit of local gossip
Our neighbours, built a big rear extension, a side extension, paved over a piece of land in front and to the side of their house to make a private drive and painted their house that awful grey (which matches their car).
They've done it all without planning permission; the council has so far rejected all their plans and put a notice on the house that if it's ever sold it all has to be demolished.
Also, they stole the land for the drive and side extension AND fly tipped all the rubbish in the forest!
