Court injuctions and bailiffs can be expensive, so a bit of diy was called for, the simple solution for me was to just give a spare set of keys to the local hard man, who then let himself in, and informed the squatter that he would be moving in that very day, and didn't really want to see anybody else in his house. There was no need for threats or violence, it's surprising what a reputation can do. Squatter was gone by dinnertime. Total cost �20.00 behind the bar at the local.
However tempting it may be to use violence, DON'T, it will only backfire, and the police will be only too willing to get involved.
