Sell the slates off your roof and any lead flashings!

And don't forget the boiler, radiators and all the copper piping!

Indeed. In fact it adds a whole new meaning to the expression "Garage Sale" on the assumption the OP has a garage :lol:

BR. That's the reason why I suggest stripping everything out of the house because it doesn't matter if it sells for zippo at auction.

LOL :faint2:

How about any floor boards he has fitted?

Absolutely, door handles, garden plants the lot. The OP went BR 8 months ago so it may be best to dispose of these items on a COD basis, although it's hard to see what the OR would want with a rose bush :grin:

Normally a mortgage lender can chase you for up to 12 years for any loan shortfall after the property has been sold following repossession, but I presume that won't be the case with BR. That's the reason why I suggest stripping everything out of the house because it doesn't matter if it sells for zippo at auction.

And I would take everything with you, and I mean everything. Most lenders expect to find the property has been stripped of all carpets, light-switches, fire places, kitchen cupboards, bathroom suites etc. These are your possessions and you're entitled to them - you can always sell them quickly to a dealer with a pick-up truck or put them on ebay

The court will send the possession order in the post to your current address in about five days time. You will have been given at least 14 days before the lender can apply for an Eviction Warrant which will usually give you 5 days notice of any bailiff coming round. I would ring the court and ask to speak to the bailiffs' office to see if a date has been set. Believe it or not they are usually helpful Always explain if you have any children living in the property or if anyone is old or sick. Here's some reassuring info:

There were more answers on your other thread but maybe they were too late Here they are anyway:

If it was me I wouldn't be in any hurry to give anyone your forwarding address when you finally pack up and go :wink: And I would take everything with you, and I mean everything.

Can you name and shame the lender who's done this to you ?
