Property law is abysmal in the UK, the fact that the squatters stuck up a sign on the wall naming their rights to occupy, just shows what a joke it is. I dont agree with property being left empty, but there is due process to these things, and the average worker has to suffer through all of it to even get one home.

If no one is buying at the current price then thats the market saying the fair price is lower, and perhaps it should just go to auction. I'm sure it's pocket change to Ramsey, but it set's an ugly precedent letting this go forth.

If you sit on a train without a ticket it's a jailable offence. How is breaking into someone's property and living there not completely illegal? It's completely inconsistent and squatting is a real problem here.

He does not own the property.

Ugly precedent? Squatting, and more generally adverse possession laws have been around for literally centuries? https://www.gov.uk/squatting-law/squatters-rights-to-propert...
