  • I live the other side of the country now... I'd say it's a van at most.

    I'm not sure how effective ghosting is as my solicitor has my address so they surely have a way to find us and then they will be making a small claim and charging storage

  • then they will be making a small claim and charging storage

    That seems unlikely. I know of situations of sellers offering to guarantee things on a house they're selling and solicitors advising buyers that such guarantees are worthless, since the only way of enforcing it would be via a small claims court, which would cost thousands of pounds to go through anyway. So, if you do just ghost them it will be much more cost effective for them to just hire a man and a van to take it all to the tip than to try and compel you to do it or pursue you for costs.

    Of course IANA lawyer and your conscience may require you to clear it up anyway.

    Small claims are done online these days for a very small fee. Enforcing a judgement is a whole other matter, but getting one is quick, simple and cheap if the claim is more or less indisputable.
