    OP - you need to get some proper legal advice asap.

    If, as you state, the possession has been granted naming you as a trespasser (it used to be called an Order 24 repossession - not sure if it still is) then there's pretty much nothing you can do about it and it's likely that the warrant for possession has already been issued to be executed on the repossession date.

    However, trespasser repossessions are normally ordered with repossession "forthwith" (ie: immediately) so I'm not convinced that this is an Order 24 type repossession.

    They will have buy the time the house is sold it is worth around £900k according to a previous post. Had the OP not been so obstructive this would never have gone to court and they could have remained in the house until it had been sold.

    No, abiding by a court order is sufficient, they don't need to be dragged out by bailiffs.

    Absolutely. @T8T You need to consider that the more you fight this the less you will get when the estate is settled. You are only making you own situation worse. Whatever you think is the right outcome, the house was left 50/50 and, if you cannot afford to buy out your sibling you will have to leave.

    Possibly @T8T hoped the delay would be sufficient for their business to be running to such an extent that they could obtain a mortgage to buy out the sibling.

    In theory, in practice some councils require the person to wait until the bailiffs turn up.
