Rent
arrears

Your tenant has stopped paying and payment plans haven't worked. We serve the right Section 8 notice and take it to possession.

Anti-social
behaviour

Neighbours are complaining or the police are involved. Serious cases can go to court as soon as notice is served.

Stop the disruption

Tenant has
disappeared

Rent has stopped and the property looks empty. Re-entering too soon is risky, so we help you do it safely.

Check before you go in

Commercial
tenant

A shop, office or industrial tenant isn't paying. Forfeiture, peaceable re-entry or CRAR, handled end to end.

Recover your premises

Encampment
on your land

Caravans or vehicles have arrived without permission. We serve notice and coordinate lawful removal.

Renters' Rights Act 2025

Section 21 has gone. Here's what it means for you.

Since 1 May 2026, landlords in England can no longer use no-fault evictions. Every eviction now needs a ground for possession, served on Form 3A, and every possession claim goes to a hearing.

Rent arrears: Ground 8 needs at least 3 months owed, with 4 weeks' notice.
Selling or moving in: 4 months' notice, and not in the first 12 months of the tenancy.
Anti-social behaviour: serious cases can go to court straight away.

How eviction works

Four stages, one specialist team, fixed fees agreed upfront.

Notice

We serve a Section 8 notice on Form 3A, on the right grounds. Typically 4 weeks for arrears, 4 months to sell or move in.

Court claim

If the tenant stays, our panel solicitors issue a possession claim. The court fee is £415.

Possession order

At the hearing, the court sets a date to leave, usually 14 days on mandatory grounds.

Enforcement

If they still don't leave, County Court bailiffs (£148 warrant) or High Court enforcement recover your property.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions landlords ask us most.

How long does it take to evict a tenant?

Most cases take several months from notice to possession. It depends on the grounds, the notice period, whether the tenant defends, and how busy your local court is.

Can I still use a Section 21 notice?

No. Section 21 was abolished in England from 1 May 2026. Every eviction now starts with a Section 8 notice on Form 3A.

What happens at court?

Every possession claim now goes to a hearing. Our panel solicitors prepare the claim and represent you. On a mandatory ground, the court usually orders possession within 14 days.

Do you work with letting agents?

Yes. We support letting agents and their landlords, from a single case to whole portfolios.

Can I change the locks myself?

No. Only a County Court bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer can carry out an eviction. Doing it yourself risks a criminal offence.
