Squatters vs. Owners
After having carried out an asbestos survey which led to the finding of how property price in UK were reducing or falling a survey carried out amongst landlords, i.e. people who own land or property in UK, indicates that there is general happiness amongst the landlords at the latest ruling on squatters. Industry experts have also expressed their appreciation at this initiative where landlords would be given information to help them combat the squatters.
The plans of Grant Shapps who is the housing minister of UK have been praised by Paul Shamplina the founder of Landlord Action. The initiative by the government helps the property owners of UK to be informed on ways to deal with illegal dwellers in their property. Shamplina has stated that the increase in people unable to even rent a house let alone buy a house has led to the case of illegal dwellers rising in number of late.
There was a word of advice and suggestion that he had for the property owners also. It was for their own good, he mentioned, that property owners should ensure that their property is not left unoccupied for extended period of time while they live elsewhere, such as their villas in Lanzarote. They would also be wiser in not making their homes easily accessible to strangers or unknown individuals.
The law is supposed to be in favor of the property owners. So much being said about the rule position from the landowners view point, there is also the opinion of the squatters that has been brought out by Katherine Hibbert, who represents the Advisory for Squatters. That squatters too need a home and have the right to make a home that is unused by any other, is their point of view.
The debate runs high and only time would say who gets the better of whom. Property price though in the UK is still seeing an all time low.
