Can a bailiff enter a locked garage in a block?


No

The garage in a block, or garage en-bloc, or lock-up garage because it forms part of the domestic dwelling house.

Any domestically occupied property is protected from bailiffs entering by using reasonable force for the enforcement of unpaid traffic contravention debts,[1] and council tax.[2]

Bailiffs may enter domestic property using reasonable force to recover unpaid tax owed to HMRC,[3][4][5] or an unpaid court fine.[6]
