It took over 2 years for me to sell my mother's flat using Mounteney Solicitors, through not fault of their own. All through this lengthy process Katie Reade, our conveyancer, was always efficient, supportive and attentive to detail. We always found her polite, positive, helpful and exceptional in everything she did. Thank you to Katie and Mounteney Solicitors.

Recently completed a sale and purchase with the guys and although the sale was very difficult to get over the line the guys managed it in only 3 months as agreed. Very impressed with how they communicated throughout the process and advised on best solutions to meet expectations. Highly recommend!!!

Description

Are you a landlord struggling to regain control of your property from a non-compliant tenant?

If so, our Solicitors for Enforcing Possession on a Property can help. We are dedicated to securing possession orders and enforcing them through court bailiffs, safeguarding your rights as a property owner.

These services are essential to get right in residential property management. Incorrect drafting/processes may mean that the landlord is unable to obtain possession and/or arrears and other costs from their tenant.

Landlords cannot legally evict residential tenants unless they have obtained a court order for possession. Once a landlord does have a Possession Order, if the tenant doesn’t move out, that Possession Order ought to be enforced by bailiffs.

We will apply for the “Warrant”, that is the Court’s authorisation and direction to its officers, to enforce the possession order on your behalf; our fee does not include any subsequent litigation support work that may be required, that we will supply at our standard time rates.

Please note that this applies to English properties only. The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 will come into force on 15 July 2022. This Act will fundamentally change the current system for letting residential property in Wales.

How long does it take to Enforce Possession on a Property?

The process for obtaining a Warrant of Possession typically involves several steps and can take around 7 weeks to complete.

The production of the application for the warrant can be undertake in about an hour once we can schedule it in our workflow, that can depend on how busy we are at any particular time.

After this, the application has to be sent to the Court for the Court to process, they often take about a fortnight to do so. Once issued, the date on which the warrant will actually be enforced depends on how busy the Court bailiffs are at a particular time.The date is rarely less than a month after issue, and can be considerably more at busy times.

How much does it cost to instruct our Enforcing Possession Solicitors?

Your supplier is SRA-regulated Mounteney Solicitors, that charges VAT some customers may be able to reclaim

We charge £450 + VAT = £540 for arranging to enforce a Possession Order with a warrant and bailiff’s visit. There is an additional fee for Court, and for the Court Bailiff. A guide to civil court fees can be found here.

There is more about our fees on our website.
