When a tenancy breaks down — whether due to rent arrears, breach of tenancy terms, or the end of a fixed term — landlords must follow strict legal procedures to regain possession of their property. Attempting to remove a tenant without following the correct process can expose landlords to serious legal and financial risk. Our team guides landlords through every stage of County Court possession proceedings.

Our Services Include:

  • Notice Preparation — Correctly drafting and serving Section 8 or Section 21 notices, ensuring full legal compliance to avoid delays.

  • Rent Arrears Claims — Pursuing possession alongside recovery of unpaid rent where arrears are the basis for the claim.

  • Breach of Tenancy Proceedings — Handling possession claims arising from breaches such as property damage, unauthorised occupants, or antisocial behaviour.

  • Accelerated Possession Procedure — Using the fast-track court process where available to secure possession more efficiently.

  • Court Representation — Representing landlords at possession hearings, presenting evidence clearly and effectively.

  • Enforcement of Possession Orders — Coordinating bailiff enforcement where tenants fail to leave voluntarily following a court order.

We help landlords navigate an often complex and heavily regulated process, ensuring claims are handled correctly and possession is regained as efficiently as the law allows.
