Our Property Litigation Team Can Help
As a landlord, there are a number of reasons you may need to recover possession of a property, the most common being that a tenant has stopped paying rent. If a tenant does not vacate your property by the date specified in a notice, they may no longer have a legal claim behind their occupancy, and you can apply to the court for a possession order. However, it is important to take the right steps when proceeding, to avoid both costs and legal complications. This is why it is important to seek legal advice from Property Litigation solicitors as soon as possible.
As a tenant, you may feel that your landlord issued a notice or issued possession proceedings prematurely or made an error in their drafting. If this is the case, legal advice and support can greatly support your claim.
Possession claims are decided at a court hearing: however, it is recommended to seek a resolution outside of court first if possible, as this can save you both time and expense.
In litigation, the sooner you seek legal advice, the better a position you will be in. Approach your claim for possession in the best way, with expert support: contact our London-based Property Litigation team today.
