The new law passed on 1st September has made it illegal for squatters to occupy residential buildings, but this has just moved the problem elsewhere – the squatters are now targeting vacant commercial buildings like closed down pubs, which are usually just boarded up (which is an effective advert saying ‘I’m empty’) and abandoned. The only really effective deterrent is a personal presence on site, like HG Security’s Vacant Property Protection Solution – a ’round the clock’ presence on site to deter unwanted visitors and protect your assets. The licensed trade are well aware of this situation, as the following article shows:
