Evictions Services
Eviction Services:
Do you need to obtain possession of your property and are not sure which notice to serve or procedure to follow? If your tenant will not leave peacefully then you MUST follow the correct legal process or you could face being fined or even imprisoned. Regaining possession of your property ought to be simple, but it is a heavily and strictly regulated area of law and it is easy to get it wrong. Even a minor mistake may jeopardise the whole procedure and cost you a great deal of time and money.

Step 1List Item 1
Legal Possession Notice
In order to obtain possession of your property the first step is to properly serve a legally valid notice. This may be a section 21 notice, section 8 notice or a notice to quit. There are strict requirements as to the format and service of each notice and it is crucial to get it right. If you would like us to serve notice on your tenant then please contact us. To speed up the process please upload the requested documents here. This will enable us to review your papers before contacting you to discuss the notice that should be served and any issues that may need to be resolved.

Court Proceedings
If your tenant fails to vacate the property in accordance with the legal notice served, you may require court proceedings to obtain an order for possession.
If the process isn't followed correctly then you may be forced to start fresh proceedings. This can be a costly exercise - especially if the tenant is already in arrears of rent. We strongly recommend using a solicitor to prepare, issue and serve the court papers and provide representation at any hearing to avoid any mistakes or delays.
If you would like us to commence court proceedings to obtain a possession order and/or judgment for rent arrears then please contact us here.
All of our evictions are carried out for a pre-agreed fixed fee so that you can manage your legal fees.
It helps if you are able to upload the requested documents here as we can check everything is in order before contacting you to discuss the court process.

Eviction
Once you have a possession order, if your tenant does not vacate, you can't simply change the locks. A County Court Bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer is required to legally evict the tenant and a further application has to be made. If you would like us to apply for a Bailiff appointment or instruct a High Court Enforcement Officer to evict your tenant then please contact us below and we will use our experience to obtain a date for evicition as quickly as possible.
