    If there was no notice for the bailiffs then the council would have to help you sooner.

    Not true, some councils wait until the day of eviction (IE literally when bailiffs are there)

    Yes - date you have to be out (court decision) should be the date bailiffs will come.

    That's not how it works. The system is already strained and you just want to add to it, not sure how that helps anyone really.


    Either way it's academic, as what you want isn't what actually happens.

    There isn't a surplus of bailiffs to hang around courts waiting to see if an eviction notice is granted.

    Really councils should be helping tenants sooner rather than clogging up courts but they just don't have the resources available to do so. I think everyone is in agreement that waiting until the bailiffs turn up before helping is crap for both the tenant and the landlord.
