Enforcement

Many people think that by gaining a possession order, which states that rent arrears and costs have to be paid, or a County Court Judgment is obtained, that they will see a return of, not only their property, but monies too.

Sadly, this is not the case and many people feel let down because at the end of the day, they have a piece of paper which tells them they are entitled to the return of their property, entitled to receive the outstanding rent and their costs for having to take the matter to Court, but in reality they are no better off.

We make it clear at the start of every matter that gaining that piece of paper does not mean that everything will be all right, it means that you have the opportunity of enforcing that piece of paper.  Further, Sarah and the team also assess whether the tenant/debtor, has the funds or capacity to repay monies that are due. 

We do not lead people to throw good money after bad, we advise them on the information we have as to the prospects of that recovery, forewarned is forearmed.

There are many available routes to enforcement, which are listed below and our property litigation team are happy to talk through them with you and explain the pros and cons of each one.  Many of these routes can also be undertaken on a fixed fee basis, please ask for more details if you are interested.
