Evicting a ResidentialTenant

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.

Dear Liam & Fiona, Thank you both for your time on this matter, very gratifying to have a quick and clear ‘win’ against a large organisation … Thanks again.  

Many thanks for your help in all the matters you have dealt with for me.  I cannot thank you enough.

Liam, you are simply the best … Thank you so much and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Without your support I would be still going around in circles … You have been my rock.

We thank you for your excellent work to date. Kind regards.

Dear Liam … I very much appreciate how quickly you have acted on my behalf.

Brilliant service, highly recommend. Thank you

Extremely satisfied

Liam, I wish to thank you for the support and professionalism you gave to me. Without, you, Naomi and Nigel, I would not have got through this ordeal and although we had a fight on our hands with the case, we got there. At no point did I feel out of my depth due to all of you being there to guide me.

Excellent service throughout and would recommend to all.

Outstanding service from Michael Whitaker.
