Evicting a tenant can be stressful - but it doesn’t have to be. Landlord Action has helped thousands of landlords and letting agents regain possession of their properties quickly and legally for 25 years. Our SRA-regulated legal team makes the process smooth, affordable, and effective.
Most problem tenants leave at the first stage of our process and there is no court action needed
Your case will be handled by experienced solicitors and paralegals, with transparent pricing
We were one of the first companies to offer a three-step eviction process. We now also offer debt recovery
Accuracy is key and you won’t find a more accurate service than ours.
We were the first to introduce the much copied three-step procedure and have now added a very popular fourth debt recovery step to our service.
Well over 60% of all tenants we serve leave at step one.
Serving a notice is actually the most important part of the possession process. You can’t do anything until notice is served. It isn’t complicated, but one tiny error can cause dreadful problems. That’s why we say, don’t do it yourself and don’t use internet amateurs. It’s not worth it.
There are invalid notices served every week, but nobody ever knows because the tenants leave. That’s fine. But when they don’t leave and your notice is invalid, you have real problems. This is because you only find out at step two, when you need the court.
If the notice is invalid, you have to start all over again. The weeks or months you’ve waited are wasted. If there were rent arrears, there are now more. If there weren’t rent arrears, they might now start. More fees. More lost rent. Still no possession and tenants can be alerted to making a counterclaim.
Courts take the view that possession proceedings can make someone homeless, so they are very careful. If there’s any error in the notice, they throw the case out. It’s the process - get it right or lose. There are still landlords and agents risking hundreds or even thousands because they want to save a few pounds on a notice, but it just doesn’t make any sense.
Landlords can find free forms on the internet. There are cheap amateurs and companies dressed up like lawyers. Be careful. Often their fees don’t include court fees or VAT, or both. And you need to ask the question, who is drafting these notices?
We’ve been doing this since 1999. We know it’s all about the detail. Detail needs experts. And detail takes time. Expert time is worth it if it saves you a costly mistake.
