Good on them, quite an apt place to squat too if you ask me. During such a housing crisis and a time where the market is completely unaffordable even to the working population I'm all for it. On the condition that they don't wreck the places they squat in, I'm for people taking over vacant buildings and putting them in to use.

Or they could be paying for the power? Many squatters will set up an account with the board and pay the bills.


Good on them.

I'm totally against squatters that take over a property (house) that the owner wants to use, but in cases like this I have no problem with it.

Does anyone remember when a bunch of squatters took over a house on Goose Green? They posted on here as the "goose green team" or something. I think they lasted about five days, until they all went home to their parents because they missed hot showers and mum's cooking.

When I came to London from Merseyside in the mid-1980's, there were loads of us and we were all squatting.


We had the electricitry and gas hooked up pretty quickly by British Gas and whoever the electricity company was back then and we paid bills, beleive it or not!


No problem having hot baths/showers living in a squat or cooking real food.


We even fixed the places up and stayed in them for years. We were economic migrants from Thatcher's Northern wastelands and as soon as any of us were able to get a tenancy (because the areas we mainly squatted were hard to let council flats which had been empty for years) we even paid rent too!

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
