Just watched a thing on the tv about this, it makes me rather angry at the squatters and also slightly at the people that own the homes. They are so clam about the fact that they are clearly stealing someones HOME and not only that they trash it. It seems to be because they are squatting they have no personal hygiene and would like to live in a s**t hole full of old rotting food and rubbish. I don't see why they can't just go and live in a dumb, it would resemble the state of life they live in currently.
Has anyone ever had a squatter take over there home?
If you did what would you do?
I know what I would do I would enter my property with a bat and kindly ask them to leave whether this got me arrested or not.

They are indeed c**ts. We've had this issue with a house abroad and it's a very, very long winded process getting them out.

There are two types of squaters, i was watching a program a while back about this problem, and there are actual people who squat in placed that are empty and abandoned, a selection of the people 'living there' work whilst other go and get basics like food, and furniture. These people also pay the bills they create, and move out when they get the eviction notices. Then there are the other types who don't give a s**t, squat and ruin the places they are in.

It gets me angry as hell as well. Saw one case in the paper last yr of this guy who was living abroad or something with his family, came back a few years later to find squatters in his house. Because his house had been left empty for so long they had some sorts of "rights" or some s**t, don't know the technicalities but legally he was powerless or some bulls**t? So he was living in like a 2 bedroom flat with his wife and 3 kids for something like 2 years before he could finally get rid of them.
Might have got some details wrong but that's roughly what it boiled down to. f**k that seriously, if people want to take shelter in old abandoned buildings that no one is claiming then power to them but as soon as someone turns up proving ownership and wants you out, you shouldn't suddenly have "rights" to it especially if you've only been there like a year and it's clearly lived in.
I can't stand these f**kers nearly as much as I can't stand pikeys/gypsys whatever you want to call them

easy to generalise about issues which are not well known...
many stories behind squatting - historically its been legitimate way of deterring property speculation, and providing homes to those who need it. But then you have people whose lives are in the gutter already, homeless, addicts...
i have lived in a squat for a while too 14+ years ago, but that was in holland and it was owned by a large company for speculation purposes so they didnt care if people lived there. Great house though, much better than most places i have lived in uk

I get the impression that there is a reasonable amount of misinformation out there about this issue.
I own a property that was unoccupied for a while and it was a slight concern. However, on closer inspection of the relevant law it seemed that the law is pretty clear on this now. The only real mistake you could make was to barge in and get physical, commit assault etc.
Evicting a standing tenant who has stopped paying rent may well be more difficult.
I may well be wrong though. I'm sure someone has an entertaining tale that could contradict this. Or at least a tale.

Thanks Mike! I dont agree with any kind of squatting unless the place is completely abandoned but it seems to be the norm now to squat in someones house if they went off to the shops for too long
