<p>Suppose a high court writ has been received to collect on a debt. The person owed the debt knows for a fact that the occupants are away for a significant period of time, and knows that the Housesitter would be amenable to their cause. Could the Housesitter allow entry to bailiffs to assess goods in the house? Or would they not be allowed to give entry legally speaking?</p>
<p>This supposed situation is happening in Wales</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>
<p>Anyone with ostensible authority over the property can allow access. That’s how most vampires get in.</p>
