When can bailiffs add the £110 towing fee on top of the enforcement stage fees?


When removing goods.

The enforcement stage fee applies when the bailiff attends, which attracts a fee of £235.[1]

The bailiff can add the £110 sale stage fee when he starts removing controlled goods.[2]

This rule only applies after the bailiff has taken control of goods using the regulated procedures.[3]
