blagsta who lives mostly in the PnD forum is probably the person you should ask.
You should really try google. It is a wonderful resource
One of my first hits for 'squatter's rights.'
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Ive come across lots of posts that could have been googled, why pick on me, you'll make me cry:(
lol... the was pointing out I was just kidding and not picking on you
principles are that you must be in possession of land and exclude all others (a matter of evidence, i.e. fencing it off, locking it with key) for 12 years.
the articles i have read suggest that the right is that you cannot be removed without a court possesion order being issued, yet the last post ***i think*** is something different again?
Basically, the image in my mind is of hippes storming an old house to do a banner-hang and then claiming they have squatters rights, so could i technically enter an empty house(given that it wasnt forced entry i presume?) and refuse to move?
There is no reason behind my asking, other than i hate it when i don't understand something and at school we were always taught to ask(not google);)
There's nowt wrong with asking, especially as you say the t'internet can throw up all kinds of conflicting information. It's usually a pretty safe bet (fingers crossed :razz: )you can trust the information on TheSite - and we have an article on squatting Hope it helps :thumb:
is this the venue they squat in in the film south west 9
