Actually, according to Jim Hutton's book, Freddie decided to give the properties to Mary Austin, but 'Jim, Peter and other assistants could stay there as long as they want'. This quoted part was only by word, but not written in the statement.
Of course it wouldn't make any sense that they would be eternally living there if Freddie decided to give the house to Mary, so after Freddie's death Mary gave them around 3 months to prepare for moving out.
Mary was with him before he became Freddie the legend. And she helped him financially during those early years, so in the end it makes sense that she got the house.

Peter's account corroborates Jim's account of the arrangements for living in the house.

Right, so he would have expected Mary to live there with people she didn't really know? Sure. He was hardly going to to tell them to fuck off himself either, was he? You/we have no idea what was said or agreed - this is just the usual anti-Mary agenda.
And anyway, who are these morons that still rock up to the house and write nonsense on the walls and why do they do it? What do they think they're achieving other than defacing someone's property? It's 2018 not 1991. No respect.

She needs to be hosed with that pink shit from Ghostbusters 2 that temporarily turns people into the most chill versions of themselves.

I think she will end up like Miss Havisham a character in the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, frosty lady looking for a scrap ha with her head up her ass funny what wealth does to some people.

.....wonder of she's on Tinder?
Wouldn't mind a slice of that. If she dropped a few pounds and put a bit of slap on, she'd probably be worth a try.......

I’ve never read anywhere that Freddie told Peter and Jim they could continue to live there. Freddie set them up with finances and some with homes for that exact reason.

@radiodada yes the info is true with Freddie saying those things to peter and Jim (unsure about Joe the chef ) about staying in Garden Lodge and buying homes etc. I don't think Jim would of stayed after getting a good slap in the face from o'l Mary, aww poor Jim.
@dudeofqueen
Ha ha classic, Mary on Tinder I agree worth a hit.....

That'd be frigging beautiful....a perfect way to bookend the QUEEN career....someone would f'er here and post her selfies with gut hanging out and then the band film would flop and then Lambert would quit amid sexual harassment accusations from other men.
Roger would get bloated after the full retirement.
Brian would join a musical
John would be John.
2020 we'll get Greatest Flix 1,2, & 3 on DVD with cropping.
A Kind of Magic will be released in SACD with BLURAY content. Upscaled and cropped THE MAGIC YEARS with 4 vinyl discs in 4 colors.
The content will be dj remixes of the singles from the album.
No film content masters will be released.
No alternative film mixes.
The inserts and documentation will all be incorrect and refer to cooking instructions for baked sheep's stomach and sheepskin condoms.
The release will get 5 stars from ROLLING STONE due to Payola schemes.
The set will tank.
As will the following HIGHLANDER remake, featuring up and coming teen rappers. The Quickening will not occur - merely the Pandering.
Brian will be seen 5 months later looking like a greyscale Captain Lou Albano.
It will be horrifying to QZ alumni.....and several will take their own lives in frustration and protest.
Others will complain that their suicide messages to QZ were not encoded in their original LOSSLESS format
