What sort of things can a bailiff take?

There are restrictions on the type of items a bailiff can take. For example, they are allowed to take luxury items such as televisions or games consoles but they cannot take things you need for basic day-to-day living such as your clothes, bedding, or furniture.

They cannot take someone else’s belongings that are in your home, although you may be asked to prove that the items do not belong to you. In addition, they cannot take tools or equipment you use as part of your job.

For further advice about what a bailiff can and cannot take, call one of our friendly solicitors who can offer you further advice.
