    It’s illegal means if the authorities found you squatting they will remove you from the premises.

    They may not have to pay a fine unless they destroy the property.

    It’s a civil offence not a criminal offence.

      The article states that it’s only illegal for residential properties. And civil offence in the UK is a fucking joke. Slap on a wrist would be more effective. It should be a criminal offence.
