[CROYDON, 31/01/2018] -- Squatting is a complex issue in the UK. Committed in residential areas, the act is illegal and can lead to 6 months in prison, a fine of £5,000 or both. If done in a non-residential property, squatting is not considered a crime. MS Webb & Co. has services for property owners when they encounter squatting problems.

This creates a complicated issue for property owners. The attempt to remove squatters can lead to force or the threat of force, which are illegal in the UK. To legally evict squatters, owners must file a claim in court for an interim possession order (IPO) to serve to squatters. But, to attain final possession of the property, owners must file another claim called the claim for possession.

Another complication is that in non-residential properties, police can only take action against squatters if they commit a crime. Crimes include damaging the property, using utilities without permission and fly-tipping.

To help property owners with the sensitive and complex matter of evicting squatters, bailiff company MS Webb & Co. offers comprehensive squatter removal services.
