London Bailiff Services work hard to safeguard the interests of the landlord and enforce the possession order strictly under the civil procedure rules. It’s critical that these rules, as well as the rigorous legal requirements, are followed precisely since any deviance from them might be deemed illegal. In this situation, the landlord would be vulnerable to a possible counterclaim from the tenant who has been evicted.
If you have not yet applied for a County Court possession order, London Bailiff Services partnership lawyers and solicitors at London Eviction Service can assist landlords with that procedure. As a matter of course they will request to transfer the order once granted to the High Court at the same time as the initial application.
London Bailiff Services work with specialist solicitors who have extensive experience in landlord and tenant litigation and understand the importance of presenting every possession claim, thoroughly and professionally. From the outset, they will review the evidence, identify the strongest legal grounds for possession, prepare comprehensive witness statements and all court documentation. Your case will be presented clearly, persuasively and in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules.Their meticulous preparation and strategic approach are designed to maximise the prospects of obtaining a possession order at the earliest opportunity while minimising the risk of unnecessary delays or procedural challenges.
It is essential that possession notices are completed accurately and the correct legal procedures are followed. Errors in the preparation or service of notices can result in costly delays or the dismissal of a possession claim. That is why London Bailiff Services works exclusively with experienced, fully regulated solicitors who specialise in landlord and tenant law and who prepare possession claims on your behalf.
Following the implementation of the Renters’ Reform Act, the Section 21 “no-fault” possession procedure has been abolished. Landlords seeking possession of a residential property must now rely on one or more of the statutory grounds for possession set out in Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988, as amended.
Possession Proceedings under Section 8 – Where a landlord has a legal ground for possession, such as rent arrears, anti-social behaviour, breach of tenancy obligations, the intention to sell the property, occupation by a close family member, or any other statutory ground introduced or amended by the Renters’ Reform Act, proceedings are commenced by serving the appropriate Section 8 notice specifying the relevant ground or grounds relied upon.
In many cases, more than one statutory ground may be available, strengthening the landlord’s claim for possession. Our specialist solicitors will advise on the most appropriate grounds, prepare and serve the required notices, and conduct possession proceedings through the courts to ensure full compliance with the latest legislation.
