The Crown is going to allow squatters to remain in possession of property worth £150+? Don't believe that for a second. Sir Auram may not be able to deliver the house to the party, but you may rest assued that the VIII Legion would be used to prevent anyone else from taking it now that they know about it.
This would not violate the 'rules' in any way - the Crown's rights within Golotha are not subordinate to the present arrangements. It is still a Royal freetown, and as such, all authority ultimately derives from the monarch. The Agrikans have police power, and the Morgathians (through the council) have administrative power. Now, the de facto implications of that may go beyond the de jure, but it is still true that the property belongs to the Crown.
To repeat, anyone who attempted steal this house would find a company of veteran legionnaires knocking at the door.
