If you want to get your property back, evicting a tenant through a possession order may be necessary. However, the procedure for doing so is very strict. We recommend specialist legal advice to avoid charges of harassment or illegal eviction.
First, you will usually need to issue the tenant with either a Section 8 or Section 21 notice, depending on the circumstances. Subsequently, a possession order will need to be applied for with the Courts. Thereafter, you may need a warrant for possession if your tenants still won’t leave.
Astle Paterson offer a fixed-fee service for the process of evicting the tenant and recovering possession of your rental property.
Our lawyers provide tailored advice to recover your property quickly and stress-free.
