In the case of a tenant, you need to give them, or attempt to give them, 14 days notice to remove their property.
After that if they don't respond, you are free to dispose of it how you wish.
I don't know how it works with ownership of a property.
Perhaps do the same... notify the previous owner with 14 days notice to remove all his property or you will dispose of it and that he shall be liable for any costs incurred by you in doing so.
Best to get legal advice for your area... one of the free 'ask a lawyer a question' places could probably set you straight, if you don't have a solicitor (perhaps you do, after just completing a settlement) or even the agent, or fair trading/consumer affairs.
