Got a place on my street.....huge Victorian building...recently been borded up by council with the large metal grids at all windows as squaters were in there....yet at 2am the other night 3 caravans pull up and about 20 people get into the same place with all their gear/matresses/furniture/dogs etc etc and come the next night there is lecky on in there and happy days thats them....anyone know what the crack is with this kind of thing? Do squaters stay until they are moved out? If this is the case the whole process of being booted out and then back in to the same property has taken about 2 weeks?????

Thanks

If it had metal shutters on all doors and windows and these were securely fixed then entry must have been forced. This means an offence has been committed and squatters rights DO NOT apply. They have committed a crime and are illegaly occupying the building. They can be evicted immediately.

I suggest you make a note of their vehicle registrations and report the matter to the police and the Council - provided they are the owners.

Good luck.

paolot if you have no burglar alarm, I should get one.


When squatters moved into a house rear of where I used to live, all the houses without alarms were broken into in the following weeks. There was a constant trail of police with clip boards, going past my house, carrying insurance lists.

i actually have squatters in a house a few doors down and they have done nothing but been disruptive since they moved in. They have totally gutted the house which includes removing the bath and toilet. They use the back garden as a toilet and we have seen them many times doing this. They unfortunately do not have any electricity or heating. I have contacted the council about them and they say it is going to court but its taking a while and apparently the squatters know how long it takes to get an injunction to remove them and they usually move out before the notice is served.


Contact the council (if it is a council house) or even the police. You can go on the met police website and report a non emergency crime on there

that sounds totally ridiculous , makes you wonder why they need to squat a house at all if they rip out all the ammenities ,having a sh1t in the garden is the pits .

Shite......it doesn't seem that long ago when Camberwell especially was a wash with squats, parties,,,,tolerance and weed...maybe the recession will bring back some counterculture.....I'll stick up for these 'scumbugs' you 'breadheads'.....sadly from time to time I realise that you are mainly just a bunch of yuppies

Agreed. But counter-culture? I thought you were talking about banks


* I thank you. I'm here all week. Try the veal *


As for squatters - this particular bunch don't sound like a savoury bunch but squatters as a group are not some homogenous bunch. Some of them are pretty decent

I once Lived in Brokckey SE4.


later I moved to East Dulwich


Im was happy until one day I woke up and found that my SE London manor had turned into a Dali inspired Daily Mail theme park


And I wept



PS- most Squatters understand the law & work within it limits- B&E is s big no no & will attract unwarranted heat form the filth - I have no problem wioth responsible people occupying an empty building ratehr than face the rapacious benefit system and its scum landlord parasites.

In theory I wouldn't have a real problem with people occupying an empty building, if they look after the place and move out when it becomes apparent that the owner needs it back. But I have a problem when they trash the property and/or refuse to leave.


And I also have a pretty big problem with freeloaders who choose not to work for a living, and I suspect that many (but maybe not all) squatters fall into this category.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
