Because banks etc are crap!

Land registry from experience do no data checking. They accept company names that aren't on Companies house.

Doubt they would pay rent. Squatting is a conscious decision.

Maybe he can live in the house he owns?

Stolen House Update

Good news - he got his house back
Bad news - bloody squatters on it

BBC News - Luton 'stolen house' owner gets home back with squatters https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...herts-67356354

A man has managed to get his house back two years after it was sold without his knowledge.

The Reverend Mike Hall returned to his Luton home in July 2021 to discover it had been sold without his permission after his identity was stolen.

He said "justice has been done" after his name was put back on the title of the house by the Land Registry.

However, Mr Hall says he is now dealing with squatters who have moved into the property.
