How do I prove I've moved and the house is now my ex-wifes?


You don't

The bailiff may only take control of goods where the debtor usually lives or carries on a trade or business.[1]

If a bailiff attends on your ex-wife's property for a debt owed by you, or another, she only needs to tell the bailiff to quietly leave, and the bailiff is now under a duty to leave with all reasonable speed.[2]

If the bailiff attends on your ex-wife's property, even with a writ or warrant of control with your wife's address on it, the bailiff does not have a power to force entry and search the property to satisfy himself the debtor does not live there.[3]

If the bailiff takes control of your ex-wife's goods, or vehicle, she can make a third-party claim to controlled goods.[4][5] Your wife may also recover damages,[6] together with her costs.[7][8][9]
