The legal requirements and obligations for landlords is ever-changing. Typically, landlords must provide the following documents to a tenant:
If just one of the requirements has not been met, either before you let a property to a tenant or before you serve a notice seeking possession, this can delay and in some cases prevent you obtaining possession of a property. If you are unsure whether you have a submitted the necessary documents and information to your tenant, our specialist solicitors are able to advise on what action should be taken before you can serve a valid notice seeking possession for a fixed fee of £500 + VAT.
Once you are in a position to serve a valid notice seeking possession, our landlord and tenant specialists are able to offer fixed fees to enable you to budget for each step of the possession process.
We will review your tenancy file to ensure that all the relevant documents and information has been provided to the tenant to ensure that any notice already served has been done so validly.
If necessary, we will draft and provide the relevant notice(s) for service in the correct forms in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. We will record and report on all relevant dates and keep you updated throughout the process. We can serve the notice(s) for you, dependent on your requirements.
We will prepare and submit your claim for possession at court, keeping you updated throughout the process and provide a copy of the order of possession once secured.
This is based on there being no defence submitted in response to your claim. If a defence is received, our specialists will provide you with a clear cost estimate going forwards tailored to the next steps in your case.
We will draft and issue the required court documents. We will liaise with the court and record and report on all upcoming deadlines. This fee includes all costs up to and including preparation for the first hearing which covers the preparation of a witness statement, a cost schedule and arranging representation at the hearing for you.
If the first hearing is adjourned for reasons beyond our control or the proceedings continue beyond a first hearing (for example, if a defence is submitted by the tenant), we will provide you with a clear cost estimate going forwards tailored to the next steps in your case.
We will prepare and issue the warrant application required to arrange an appointment for the court bailiff to secure possession of the property for you. Once a date for the warrant to be executed has been set, you will be required to arrange for a locksmith to attend the property to change the locks once possession has been secured by the bailiff.
*Disbursements are ordinarily court fees and advocate fees (for representation at hearings). Disbursements will be agreed with you before they are incurred.
Once you have secured possession of the property, our specialists are also able to assist in recovering rent arrears against either the tenant or a guarantor - Find out more.
