The Red River County- The presence of beautiful ponds, creeks, lakes and exquisite landscape have made the Red River County a wonderful place in Texas.

A judge has ordered London council to publicise a list of vacant houses in the city. With squatting becoming more acceptable unoccupied property insurance is vital.

Research conducted earlier this year suggested that there were upwards of 650,000 unoccupied properties in the UK. Squatting is getting more and more positive publicity but it could spell disaster for your vacant building which is why it is more important than ever to arrange unoccupied property insurance.

This week Judge Fiona Henderson ordered Camden Council to release its new list of properties that are not occupied in the vicinity, sending vacant property owners sprinting to sort out their unoccupied property insurance. Providers of this type of insurance weren’t the only ones with concerns about the ruling, the London Metropolitan Police voiced fears that releasing the information, under the freedom of information act would see empty premises, even those with vacant property insurance, get used for petty and even organised crime.

The police believe that the release of the information could even lead to the organised stripping of empty buildings, and the selling of the materials which are taken in this way. This could cause irreparable damage to buildings and, if the owners do not have insurance for their properties that are not occupied, the costs could run into the thousands.

However, there are upsides to this legislation, even for those without this insurance. Judge Henderson stated that the release of the information could be extremely beneficial when it comes to the current debate raging about what to do with the UKs thousands of empty homes. She pointed out the rise in ‘professional squatters’ who aim to use properties carefully and responsibly, even keeping the house from falling into disrepair, which could actually be beneficial to those with this insurance. It could also help to address the UK’s current issues with inadequate housing provision.
