    it's the landlords responsibility to sort out the uncollected goods. Here is some guidance.

    if i were you, i would get quotes from a man and van, plus storage facilities so that if need be, you can empty the property of their belongings fairly swiftly after the event.

    ...........thanks!

    @N79 oh i see thanks for that, i thought i would have to store their possessions at my expense and then be obliged to return, but provided they cover the costs then i am willing to do that. Even though that would mean having to contact/speak to them, or maybe i should just notify their solicitor instead and let him know as i can't stand to even speak to these animals.

    Counting the days/hours for this nightmare to end...

    If they don't collect the items after a reasonable period of time (at least 3 months in my opinion) then you can sell them and use the proceeds to pay your storage and removal costs. Any "extra" left over needs to be repaid to the T or held until such time as the T requests payments (you should keep the T's informed at all points in the process - you can do this in writing via any address you have for them - it could be the solicitor you mention).

    Of course, this presupposes that there is anything worth selling.......

    Edit: I just have one last point. Having read your previous threads, I think you should start getting yourself into as detached an emotional state as possible about the property. What you will find inside is, I fear, going to be very upsetting to a normal human being. Still, if you survive and come out the other side of this then you will have faced what is probably the worst part of being a LL - believe me it does not get worse than those first few seconds after re-entry to your first bailiff eviction. I have been there - more than once over the years (although it is very rare - especially with good tenant referencing), and you get a bit immune to it but it still amazes me what some people are prepared to do and how they are prepared to live.

    If you have any more questions - feel free.

    Honestly i do not think they have anything worth selling, but if they do have any "valuables" i would think the bailiffs would seize those or not???
    Along with the PO i was also granted a money order which i included in the warrant.

    i am not able to just detach myself emotionally...so this will be the first and last, i plan to sell up and move far far away.

    OP Why are you calling these people criminals and animals?
    It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun

    .

    The bailiff will not seize their valuables, he is only there to give you the property back legally. You will have to pursue the money separately.
