Torts Act Disposal Package
Where goods have been left behind after a tenant, occupier, licensee or business has vacated, landlords and property managers often need more than a general explanation. They need a structured, documented process that helps them move the matter forward professionally.
Our Torts Act Disposal Package is designed to assist clients who want practical help with notice drafting, service and evidential paperwork before goods are sold, removed or otherwise dealt with. This service is suitable for commercial landlords, managing agents, accommodation providers and property operators who want a sensible, well-presented and defensible paper trail.
We can review the circumstances, prepare the appropriate notice, serve it at the available addresses, and provide confirmation of service for your records. Where a matter appears more complex or legally sensitive, we can also refer onward to one of our partner solicitors.

- Background review and practical guidance
- Drafting of a notice to collect goods or intended disposal notice
- Service to last known or traced addresses
- Certificate of service
- Referral to solicitors if required
