STEP 2: Serve notice
Collate the paperwork and serve notice.
Provide copies of notices and certificate of service
STEP 3: Court proceedings
If your tenant doesn’t vacate the property or clear the rent arrears (depending on what notice is served) we will need to apply to the local county court for a possession order
The current court fee is £355.
STEP 4: Enforcement
Once a possession order is granted the tenant will be asked to return possession of the property by a particular date
If they fail to do this then we will need to submit an application to execute a warrant.
Current fee for bailiff enforcement is £130.
