STEP 1 - The first legal step is to serve a Section 21 notice which gives the tenant 2 months notice or a Section 8 notice (where there are rent arrears or other grounds for eviction i.e. breach of tenancy). By initiating this first step you are on your way to gaining possession of your property Certain conditions need to be met to serve a valid Section 21, and if they have not then we can advise on appropriate solutions to remedy any problems. The notices need to be carefully drafted in order for the process to succeed. If they are not then you will lose valuable time and money.
STEP 2 - If your tenant doesn't leave after the notice period has expired, then we commence proceedings in the County Court to acquire possession of your property and to recover any rent arrears if applicable.. There are three procedures depending on your case. 1 - Accelerated - if all conditions are met then you will acquire mandatory possession 2 - Standard (S21) - where a court hearing will be required. This is when the accelerated procedure conditions are not met. 3 - Standard (Section 8) usually rent arrears, but can be any other breach of tenancy.
STEP 3 - The final step, if your tenant doesn't leave after a possession order date is set, is to enforce the possession order through a County or High Court bailiff. The process of using County Court bailiffs can be frustrating due to the timescales involved. We can instruct bailiffs and make the process seamless and quicker for you using High Court Bailiffs. When your tenant has been removed we can also assist in arrears recovery matters. Finally, if you you are intending of re-letting we can provide you with a fully tailored professional landlord service for peace of mind.
