        I’ve just spent almost an hour looking around inside the Keens’ place. It looks like a dusty building site inside (and has since November apparently.) Incongruous piano in the basement next to a heap of sand!

        The anarcho-troofers squatting there are friendly and helpful but definitely not your tax-paying citizen types (doubt that Guido really thought they were…)

          I wish I could get there. What are the police doing if anything?

        • 136
          Smattering says:

          The police have been already and are not interested. It’s up to a court to decide now. Sadly the squatters have no chance in court, but their point is already made..

        • 158

          I understand squatting is civil but was wondering if the police had accepted the ‘open window’ claim given all of the recent pictures of the windows boarded up. Otherwise they could be arrested for breaking and entering.

          I am glad the police are not taking action.

          Empty properties quickly attract vandals and alcoholics who will break anything to get in. Quite often the vandals or alki’s are after the fittings; fireplaces, copper pipes, boilers or lead to sell for booze or drugs.

          They often do the dirty work for others to be able to get access without breaking the law.

          If you think squatters are bad though wait until you see a house that has been used as an alcoholics doss house.

          I remember one doss house near where I lived. They has stripped every single piece of wood in it to burn, including the doors, frames, skirting, floors, joists and even the stairs. All that was left was the shell.

          The Keens should be grateful to the squatters.

          The squatters are a bunch of ponces on an ego-trip and being anarchists won’t have been paying taxes themselves.

        Posted some photos of the Keen ‘home’ outside and inside here.

        No sign of any police presence when I was there.

          Nice one CZ51.

          I see a dozen of those properties every week. That is a house that is being readied for sale. The work has been stopped because of the slump in property values.

          That is almost certainly not a house being readied for owners to move in. Owners rarely go to that much expense and trouble if it’s for themselves.

          Flippers caught in flagrante.

          A Quantity Surveyor says:

          I agree with my professional colleague.

          There is no dispute here, clearly the work has been “suspended” (with agreement of the contractor).

          However it all looks rather sudden – the protective clothing still hanging there; nothing really protected properly – as if funds dried up, or were stopped, overnight.

        • 203
          Estate Agent says:

          Look at the photo’s again QS. The site is a tip. That is not a professional building company. It looks like the work of half a dozen Poles who have decided to go home.

        • 207
          Estate Agent says:

          CZ51, it would be cool if you could get a video of the house and post it up on Youtube. You can tell a lot by looking at how things have been done to date.

        • 212
          A Quantity Surveyor says:

          Certainly the “housekeeping” is pisspoor – no proper contractor could allow that because of H&S regulations. From what I can see, the workmanship looks OK, but of course this would all be done by subbies managed (or “mismanaged” in this case) by a general management contractor.

          What is certain is that work stoppage was sudden and there was no time given for any preservation works. It is a Mary Celeste of building sites so it is.

        • 224
          Estate Agent says:

          What caught my eye was the room with the fireplace. That’s quite a decent Victorian fireplace which hasn’t been protected at all while someone is plastering above. Look at the state of the kitchen too. There is some decent work, but it’s very disorganised. There was no site manager maybe?

          Whatever, I still maintain that someone who replaces the stairs, ceilings and all the walls is not intending to live there again. Those sort of costs couldn’t be claimed on MP’s expenses, dodgy invoices or not.

          I must go and have a look at their expenses by the way, see if there are any claims for building work..

        • 240
          A Quantity Surveyor says:

          Looking at the work inside and out it is fair to say that this is a extensive renovation. When this amount of work is undertaken you can generally assume that the cost will be equal to, if not more than (due to the constriction of working within existing buildings) the cost of an entire new building.

          They couldn’t pass this lot off as expenses, unless the builder was dodgy and wrote special invoices which I’m sure didn’t happen.

          I love the Internet – my, ahem, intellectual curiosity satisfied with a few mouse clicks. Informed commentary by Estate Agent here is most interesting.

          The DT has just revealed that my MP has six private jobs. I want to know how much time that leaves for being an MP, you know, for scrutinising bills before they are passed into law. NuLabour has passed so many new laws, and I really wonder how many hours per week are left over from six jobs to devote to representing your constituents’ interests in Parliament. Agreeing with whatever Tony wanted prolly saved a lot of time: illegal invasions, ID cards, criminalising things that were not criminal before. No one ever lost their job by agreeing with Tony, did they?

        Reclaiming taxes? Good idea.

        Here’s a handy crib sheet for those who want to tell the tax department why witholding taxes this year is a justifiable reclaim:

      It’s coming up to holiday time for Parliament and Gordon’s already been seen eyeing up properties disguised as a Pikey, so how about a mass squat of Parliament itself. Invade with several thousand protesters and over run the place. Only leave when Labour agree to leave office.

          Good on them! The problem with anarchy is that for you or I to get involved in this sort of thing we would be in serious trouble. In this police state that the current government has created to silence the masses we would have convictions and be uunable to find work as a result etc.

          These guys obviously don’t care about that, so fair play to them. Let’s hope they can get a good lawyer (any reading this?).

      thick as thieves says:

      well what a turn up for the books!
      all the tory trolls who visit this place are 100% behind the squatters and the taxpayers alliance is taking direct action to reclaim taxpayers money.
      so that also means that the tories who support this act of squatting in this property must also support the nationalisation of the banks the taxpayer has majority shareholdings in.
      fucking hell, I have managed to find some common ground with the tory daleks.

      Hey, one of the best parties I ever went to was in a squat off Commercial Road. Two actually. One in a tower block overlooking sainsburies where three or four entire floors were squatted, and one… christ knows where the other was. Might have been a warehouse. I recall some big doors, and possibly dragons. I tapped off with some goth bird from Southend wearing a binliner. I’ll tell you, they don’t make weekends like that any more.

      Anyway, whoever this is, all power to them – I want every MP to walk in fear every moment of every day that the public are going to sniff them out and destroy them.

    It has a completely new porch and ground and first floor levels have been extended to the rear.

    All the sash windows are new.

        Oh yes they would make quite a profit on this property judging by the huge amount of renovation and extension work involved. Apart from quality improvements they have probably doubled the floor area. Not a terribly good time to put it on the market (certainly not this week, hoho) but I should imagine they could sell it for twice what they paid for it with the right timing. Just a shame about the old Capital Gains Tax.

      • 138
        A Quantity Surveyor says:

        mmm Robin, how can you possibly know this?

        If the “builders are in”, where is the skip? Where is the sign? Where are the protective covers over the inside of the windows. Why does the outside look in pristine condition, except for the fact the gardener hasn’t been round for months?

        • 144
          Hipster says:

          The Keen’s story is that they are in dispute with the builders. The builders read about the expenses scandal in The Sun and realised they probably weren’t going to paid now the though has been emptied.

        • 156
          A Quantity Surveyor says:

          So why did the builders leave all the materials inside? First thing they’d walk away with in the event of a dispute.

          And why did the Keens not get another contractor to complete the works after having served notice of termination and set off the cost against any sums owing to the original contractor? Seems very strange not to have taken any action at all for such a long time, judging by the excessive growth of the garden flora.

          As Parliamentarians, are they not familiar with the law?

          My old purple QS nose is beginning to itch.

        • 163
          Hipster says:

          I dunno QS. I have seen plenty of building sites with bags of sand and cement left behind. They might have been bought by the client, or perhaps they weren’t worth humping. Maybe the Keens are suing the original buidler. Who knows. All will out I am sure.

          The Keens will certainly have to provide evidence at the court hearing to evict the squatters if they want any sympathy from the judge.

        • 171
          A Quantity Surveyor says:

          Surplus materials belong to the contractor unless there are Employer provided materials or equipment (which is unusual in building construction contracts, certainly for cement or sand).

          I cannot see what this dispute, if any, would be of any interest whatsoever to a judge hearing an eviction case. Either they own it or not.

          The only interest would be to the taxpaying British Public who would naturally be wondering why this property is not being used for the purpose for which it has been heavily subsidised.

          As we say in surveying spheres, “if you have no carpet you can’t sweep anything under it.”

        • 231
          Hipster says:

          You woud be surprised at just how pissy Judges can be with claimants if they want to. I have seen quite a few that have been sympathetic to squatters and have avoided immediate eviction notices, preferring to drag the thing out.

          Why are the building details important? Because the Keens are claiming it is their primary residence for parliamentary purposes. Will they do the same in court I wonder?

          Whether a property can be construed as a primary residence when it is in such a condition is questionable, more so because the neighbours insist they have rarely if ever seen the Keens living there. The legal situation might not be quite as clear cut as the Keens would wish.

    Guido. Totally OT, but I’ve been reading Millibands blog praising the Gov’t for having nothing, but praise for our troops. i was so incensed by the nauseating little sh!t that I penned the following. As this comment will never get past the FCO censors, I respectfully request you give it an airing.

    Dear David.

    I have a few suggestions to make Armed Forces Day really mean something and tell our troops just how the Government understands and is proud of our Troops.

    Raise another 6 Infantry Battalions, 4 Attack Helicoptor and 2 Transport Helicoptor Squadrons. It won’t be enough, but it’ll make a difference.

    Stop the RAF from having to carry out reconnaisance in flying funeral pyres.

    Give our troops decent accomodation for themselves and their families when they return from Afghanistan. The standard of housing equal to that of those on benefits would be a vast improvement on what is available.

    Repeated tours with not enough down time are playing havoc with men’s mental health. More support from our wonderful hard-working NHS would be welcome and you might just make a teensy dent in the divorce figures.

    Please try do do something about wounded soldiers being attacked in Hospital, on Public Transport and in the Street, there’s a good chap.

    I think it would be absolutely fabulous if you joined the Ambassador and General Hutton in the run round Kabul . You would be the first Labour Cabinet Minister to place himself in harm’s way since Lucky Jim, which will look good on your resume in Jun 2010.

    Yours sincerely

      Just put to one side all the many failings of the present government since 1997. The single most utterly despicable thing Gordon Brown has done over the last 12 years is to deliberately starve MoD and HM Forces of funds. It has been alleged that this has been done either to spite Blair, or because Brown has viewed the military as somehow being a ‘force of conservatism’.

      Whatever the reason, to deliberately put our troops’ lives at risk to score petty political points is more than just totally unforgivable, it’s fucking evil.

      But if this house hasn’t been lived in for say 9 months or more, surely then it can’t be their main home, and therefore there can be no claim for expenses for the second home in london (as it is clearly their main home)

        Correct – that’s why they are a pair of thieving fucking Hoons living it up at our expense. Hopefully we’ll see them in prison soon, this is clearly fraud as in the case of Baroness Uddin.

        The rules (green book) clearly state that you must spend more time at your main home.

    Actually we are quite relaxed about the whole thing. We are socialists, don’t you know, so we are on the side of the oppressed, the poor and the homeless in particular. Their struggle against the powerful, rich and corrupt who seek to oppress and impoverish them is our struggle too.

    It warms our socialist hearts to know that we are doing something in our own little way to help these needy squatters, and they are welcome to stay as long as they want – and winter will be here soon.

    Hopefully they will have completed the renovation and decorating work on the house just before they “leave”, thus saving us the cost, as we doubt we’ll get it on expenses now.

        Er no. The key point being missed by co-conspirators is that this bijou residence is the Keens’ “first/main” home so everything is being done at their own expense – as they have piously pointed out. We taxpayers are paying for their “second” home some 10 miles down the road but, as said second home has become their only habitable residence, the claims for mortgage etc reported variously as iro 40K pa- are wholly inappropriate.

    Evening all!
    I have an update for you on behalf of the squatters who are currently in the building.

    For the people who asked about donations and support….
    We currently have no running water so bottles of water would be great, also we’ve recieved some food donations today from neighbours which is fantastic but we could always do with a bit more as there’s about 6 of us in there at one time (whoever mentioned chinese and pizza, it’d be like all our birthdays and christmasses had come at once, vegetarian please :))
    Also as I’m sure you all know the house is in a terrible state of disrepair so anything like screws, nails, hinges et al would be very much appreciated.

    For the people asking about what it’s like inside/what the builders left behind…..
    The only room that appears to be anywhere near finished is the kitchen. The house inventory is as follows –
    The worlds smallest fridge (like the ones you put in teenagers bedrooms, presumably left behind by the builders)
    A truly hideous pine bedroom set (The Keens have appauling taste in home furnishings it seems)
    Lots of Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree (the squatters spent a very boring first night pulling crackers, which they’ll probably discover missing and put on their expenses account..)
    A tool box (very useful, thank you builders)
    About 4 bags of cement
    A Piano (we have a professional pianist in our midst, so we unwrapped the piano and had a good old knees up mother brown whilst making the banners!)
    A transparent male torso on a stand (no.. we have no idea either..)
    About an inch of dust on everything (nobody’s been in here for quite some time)

    I’ve also been told to let all the locals know that you are cordially invited to a barbeque tomorro (Sunday 28th) at about midday in the back garden so bring some burgers and a few tinnies and come on over!

    “The Mrs and Mrs Expenses presents – The Ann Keen Barbeque. You’ve already paid for it!” Entrance through the back garden gate.

    If there’s anything else you’d like to know or any requests for photos/banners/etc. please let me know and I’ll do my best to help :)
