A possession claim is a legal process used to obtain possession of a property.

This type of claim is initiated when a tenant or occupier refuses to leave the property after being given notice to vacate on a specified day. The procedure and requirements for serving a notice requiring possession and making a claim for possession will vary depending on the type of tenancy involved and the grounds for possession.

Claims for possession are often contentious and the eviction process is highly regulated. It is important that the correct procedure is followed and the paperwork is correct because it will be scrutinised.

In these types of claims, a failure to dot your i’s and cross your t’s can result in the Court dismissing a claim for possession which means the process has to start, incurring wasted costs and delays.

We recognise that the process of dealing with a notice requiring possession and claim for possession, whether you are a Landlord or a Tenant, can be stressful and often difficult because of fractious relationships.

We appreciate how difficult these matters can be and pride ourselves on fully understanding this and your commercial goal so that we can work with you to achieve a resolution that is right for you. It is imperative that documentation in this paperwork is correctly prepared, a failure to do so can have disastrous results.
