Bailiffs Evict 77-Year-Old in Boundary Row as Dorset Bungalow Is Ordered Sold to Pay £113,000

A judge approved the 'draconian' sale after ruling further appeals were totally without merit.

Overview

  • Court bailiffs enforced the eviction on January 26 in Hamworthy, Poole, gaining entry with a locksmith and changing the locks.
  • The £420,000 property will be sold to cover around £113,000 owed to neighbour Pauline Clark from the long-running boundary case.
  • Judge Ross Fentem dismissed Jenny Field’s final appeal in September and concluded an order for sale was the only effective remedy.
  • Field says she spent a night on the streets and has sought emergency housing from BCP Council, with 21 days to remove her belongings.
  • Clark’s solicitor says Field did not pursue settlement or refinancing and that the home has sufficient equity to clear the debt with surplus remaining.
