Hi,
Does anyone know the law surrounding bailiffs powers of entry via an unlocked porch.
Basically I have a porch which is left unlock during the day whilst we are home and locked when we go out and at night. I do not consider the porch the main entrance to my house. In the porch we keep our shoes and coats and then there is the main front door to the house which has a normal front door lock and is locked and shut all the time the same as you would a front door.
Does anyone know what the law is if a bailiff enters the porch does this mean they have gained access peacefully to the property. I have seen some conflicting information on this. The porch in question here was not built with the house and was added on later hence why there is still a front door inside.
Many thanks.
