We employ a team of certificated High Court enforcement bailiffs, ready to take swift action to recover your owed rent. Our in-house team brings unparalleled experience and professionalism to each case. We put this expertise to work in ensuring that your money is recovered efficiently, effectively, and legally.

Key Benefits:

  • Court-Approved Enforcement: Our bailiffs are authorised by the courts to execute writs and recover debt efficiently.

This caser manager serves as a single, knowledgeable point of contact throughout the duration of your case. They keep you informed at every stage, answering any questions you may have and ensuring that the process runs smoothly.

  • Transparent Communication: Regular updates, allowing you to stay informed and confident in our process.

Former Tenant Tracing Services

When pursuing a former tenant for unpaid rent, locating them is often the first challenge you will face. Our expert former tenant tracing agents use advanced tools and databases to locate former tenants and provide their most up-to-date contact details. This enables us to effectively initiate the collection of rent arrears.

Key Benefits:

  • Effective tracing Techniques: Our team specialises in locating former tenants who have dropped off the radar.
  • Increased Recovery Success: Tracing former tenants is often the first step in the successful debt collection.

A Solicitor’s Letter Of Demand

The first step in the collection of rent arrears is to present your tenant a clear, urgent, and definitive opportunity to pay their outstanding balance.

Our solicitors can issue an official letter of demand, in compliance with the pre-action protocol, which gives tenants 28 days to respond, either by paying the outstanding amount or arranging a payment plan. This method is highly effective; in our experience, many tenants pay once they receive a formal demand letter.

Key Benefits:

  • Formal Notice: A professional, legally compliant demand letter that often prompts tenants to pay.
  • Proven Impact: Most debtors respond or make payment when contacted by our legal team.

County Court Proceedings (CCJ)

When a tenant fails to respond to the demand letter, we can initiate County Court Proceedings to obtain a Country Court Judgement (CCJ) against then. This judgement increases the chances of successful collection of rent arrears, as it places the tenant under considerable legal pressure.

Key Benefits:

  • Effective Legal Recourse: A CCJ demonstrates the seriousness of the debt.
  • Leverage for Payment: Many tenants settle debts to avoid the negative effects of a CCJ.

High Court Writ Of Control

After obtaining a CCJ, we can escalate the case by transferring it to the High Court and issuing a Writ of Control. Our in-house High Court enforcement agents will then enforce the collection of rent arrears by commandeering the tenant’s goods as security for the debt. This significantly increasing the chances of collection.

Key Benefits:

  • Advanced Collection Step: High Court involvement allows us to leverage stronger enforcement measures.
  • Direct Action: Our agents use lawful, decisive action to secure payment.
