We’ve all been there… a unit full of someone else’s stuff, fees stacking up for months, and **zero written agreement** with lien/sale clauses. I’ve created a clean, ready-to-use 3-page guide with full letter templates so you can do it properly and protect yourself. Find it here

We’ve all been there… a unit full of someone else’s stuff, fees stacking up for months, and **zero written agreement** with lien/sale clauses. Good news: you can still clear the space **and recover your money** using common law bailment + the **Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977** (s.12 + Schedule 1 Part II). I’ve created a clean, ready-to-use 3-page guide with **full letter templates** so you can do it properly and protect yourself. **What’s inside:** **Step-by-step process:** 1. Preparation (evidence checklist – this saves you in court) 2. First Notice – Obligation to Collect (28 days – recorded delivery template) 3. Wait & Follow Up (lien, reminders, tracing) 4. **Intention to Sell Notice** (the CRITICAL 3-month notice – full template included) 5–7. During the notice period → Sale → Proceeds → Cleanup & records **Exact wording you can copy-paste** for both letters (already formatted for recorded delivery). **Key takeaway:** Without a contract you’re looking at a **minimum 3-month sale notice** after the first letter. Slower than with proper terms, but 100% legal when done right. **⚠️ Important** This is **guidance only** – not legal advice. For high-value goods or if you’re unsure, run the notices past your solicitor (a quick 30-min consult is cheap insurance). **Pro tip for the future:** Every new customer signs a proper storage agreement with explicit lien & sale clauses. It turns this 4–6 month nightmare into a 6–8 week process. Drop the PDF into your “Legal Templates” folder and save it. You’ll need it sooner than you think. Who’s currently sitting on an uncollected unit with no contract? How long has it been? Drop your situation below (anonymously if you want) and I’ll help you map the next steps. Let’s keep those facilities turning over and profitable! 💪 #SelfStorage #StorageBusiness #UnpaidStorage #LegalTemplates #SelfStorageUK
