Our Duties to You in the event of late payment / non-payment

Our Rights to sell-off Property to recover payment  

In default of Prompt Payment of Your Debt, We shall be entitled to:- keep hold of some or all of Your Property until We have received payment in full of all the charges You owe Us.

Before We sell the Property, We will give You notice in writing by registered or signed for delivery or email communication at Your address on the Agreement or any address in England and Wales notified by You to Us in writing prior to Our notice, specifying the amount of Your Debt, administration & collection costs at the date of the notice and directing You to pay. If payment is not made within seven days after the date of the notice, We will sell the Property. We will not give You any further notice of any intended sale. We will sell the Property by the best method(s) reasonably available to achieve the best price reasonably obtainable in the open market, taking into account the costs of sale and administrative charges relating to the debt collection and auction / disposal of Your Property.  We will use the proceeds of the sale to pay first the costs incurred by Us in the sale of the Property, administration costs and any balance will be held for You.

If the proceeds of sale are insufficient to discharge the costs of sale incurred by Us and Your Debt without deduction, You must pay any balance outstanding to Us within seven days of a written demand from Us which will set out the balance remaining due to Us after the net proceeds of sale have been credited to You.  

If the Property cannot be sold for a reasonable price or at all (for any reason whatsoever), or despite Our efforts they remain unsold, You authorise Us to treat them as abandoned by You and to destroy or otherwise dispose of them at Your cost.

Normal Perils shall be defined as loss of or damage to Property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, aircraft, storm, flood, bursting and/or leaking pipes, moth, insect and vermin, theft accompanied by forcible and violent entry or exit, riot, strike, civil commotion, terrorism, malicious damage, and impact by vehicles; and we exclude all liability in respect of (a) loss or damage to Your business, if any, including consequential loss, lost profits or business interruption; (b) loss of or damage to Property or any claim for return of Fees except where this results from Our negligence or breach of contract, in which case Our liability to You will be limited to the sum of One Hundred Pounds (£100) in total.

If You do not agree with the level of the new Fees under this Agreement, You may serve notice on Us to terminate the Agreement.
