There’s a place down the road my dad used to squat, they kicked everyone out last year but they haven’t done anything with it since. What am I going to have to do to get it back? And what are my chances of staying there long enough to bother bringing anything down there?

Cheers

Hi Moonie ,
Never Squatted so not sure but are there any signs of security there ? . I imagine if the owner has gone to the trouble of emptying it there are plans for the use of the building ? . I guess keep an eye on and see what the score is .

It’s been a year and nothing, and the security is pretty minimal, in fact after a wander around I reckon I could probably just stroll in.

go for it. dont change any locks, but put bolt locks on the inside of the door. dont break any windows (of if you do, do it a few days before, inconspicuously and then return a few days later) pay the electric and water bills. send a letter to yourself through the post. make it as livable as possible inside. make sure you have a fire exit. probably a good idea to get a fire extinguisher too.

Oh and get a decent crew together and keep it hush hush (you dont want the local brew crew to find out about it). squatting on your own is definatly a no no.. (the building needs to be occupied all the time)

Cheers for the advice pike Tom us, the place isn’t connected to the national grid, and has a fresh water spring, so no bills coming in, fire safety is a must, a few years ago there was a big fire in one part because if a candle left going after bed time. Getting in should be fine really, it’s not well protected. As for locks and having people inside all the time, I never knew it was like that, and finding a crew is going to be hard around here because everyone is too minted to bother. Plus no electric etc willput people off. Hopefully I can sort it though
