Don’t be ridiculous, of course not!

We are receiving more and more enquiries from landlords and for that matter, calls from existing clients, telling us that they have “read this or read that” or “I’ve been told this” or “my agent said this” or “the council have told my tenant this”.

There is a plethora of misleading information about making possession claims at the moment and at a time when a great number of landlords are contemplating recovering their properties before the proposed Renters Reform Bill passes through parliament. It is more important than ever to separate the “wheat from the chaff”.

Most of the errors, which result in failed possession claims, are made long before the service of a notice seeking possession, so it is incredibly important that before any such notice is served that a full review of all documents has been performed, all of the requirements of a successful claim have been met and that whomever you chose to represent you has the right to do so. There are an increasing number of “Eviction Companies” out there, offering a range of services for landlords some of which, such as performing litigation, there are not legally allowed to do. So, if you are seeking advice, then as a first step, please go to a S.R.A. regulated solicitor who can make sure that said advice is the right advice for you.

Recovery of your property through the courts is a long and expensive process and the last thing you need, is go all the way through that process only to be told by a judge that you need to start again, especially now, as we are shortly to lose the option of a Section 21 notice as a means of doing so and “starting again” may no longer be an option.

DON’T JUST GET ADVICE, GET THE RIGHT ADVICE!
