Hi curiousessex sorry I did not know that but he did have the keys so he could have entered by the door if he had not left them behind. I have read how he was removing valuables from the house to sell in London so I am surprised nobody put a stop to that such as the relatives who would know he did not own the house. How strange is all this. The police had to ask his permission to burn carpets etc from the house they must have thought he owned the lot.

Jeremy did not have the keys to White House Farm. When the police offered Jeremy the keys to White House Farm he did not want them. The police did ask Jeremy's permission to burn carpets etc. when leaving the scene the first time.
At the time Jeremy was the only surviving family member who was employed and working on the farm. As such it was Jeremy who was asked the question. After leaving the farm on 6th August 1985, having previously gone out to 'shoot rabbits', I do not think Jeremy has been back to work on the farm.
The farm was a part of a trust that is owned by others. Nevill ran the farm on behalf of that trust. However, the possessions and chattels inside the house will have been items that belonged to June and Nevill etc.
