His neighbours may think of him as something of an oddball but when squatter Tobias Blair won the deeds to his home in central London, this unassuming man also became one of the richest landowners in the area. The plot of land in Westminster is worth millions but became his after proving that he’d been living there for over ten years.

‘The fact that he’s made a mess of the place doesn’t mean a thing,’ said a neighbour of Blair’s who asked to remain anonymous. ‘Ach! I’ve got a right to that place but he’s been promising to vacate it for as long as I’ve been here.’

Blair himself was in an uncompromising mood. ‘Look guys,’ he said, ‘it’s great to learn that I’m staying put but if you don’t get of my land, pretty sharpish, I’ll set the dog on you.’
