I think there is a clear difference between using an empty property and breaking in to houses, although the law was changed last year to stop residential properties being squatted, you would still have to be resident for 12 years prior to even making a claim for ownership. If a building hasn't been used or claimed for that long then it should be usefully employed.

what??
how can you tell someone what they ought to do with their own property? isn't that a bit.... dictatorial?
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:23, Reply)
Yep
But aren't all laws? Most laws are in place to benefit the common good i.e. you cant kill someone you don't like. So (and I know getting to this argument with a property lawyer is fucking stupid as I only have a very limited knowledge of the subject) surely it makes sense for someone without a home to utilise an empty property. I agree that damage etc. is not acceptable however there are ways of getting the utilities connected legitimately and so on.
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:30, Reply)
"surely it makes sense for someone without a home to utilise an empty property"
only if they want to utilise it! you can't say, "you must do this with your land, because this person has chosen to drop out of society and has nowhere else to go".

If it's owned by somebody, then the owner. Not a bunch of fucking junkies who want somewhere to not get eaten by foxes for a few nights.
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:38, Reply)
but why?
why should the owner be forced to put it to use? if he wants to leave it empty, isn't that his choice? how would you feel if someone said that you had to let people live in your garden?
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:41, Reply)
slightly disingenuous argument there as the garden is in use.
I appreciate that and as I have tried to state a number of times the damage is key issue, I am sure you will be able to correct me but prior to the November law last year wasn't there something regarding the violence of occupation, so as long as there was no damage and you leave when asked (as many squatters did) then I don't see the issue with utilising the property. The problems all arise when violence is used and rights are violated and this goes both ways.
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:45, Reply)
It's not the key issue.
Some bunch of cunts living in my building and stopping me from being able to do what I want with my own property is the key bloody issue.

Or simply, you're there when I don't want you to be. Trespass, in other words.
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 15:47, Reply)
I disagree
I am of the opinion that as long as a building is not in use then it should be utilised.
(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 16:05, Reply)
i've been evicting squatters for 12 years and i've only ever known one lot go voluntarily
they all require a court order, because they know it buys them at least a few days, weeks in a busy court district, and during that time they mostly trash the place. look at the comments the LABOUR mp's have made in response to chris grayling's requests for stories as to whether commercial squatting should also be criminalised. even the hand wringers are in favour of it.
