Our Services for Section 8 Notices

A Breakdown of Exactly What We Do

We provide end-to-end support, from drafting and serving notices to managing court proceedings and securing possession.

  • Legal Audit

    Before anything is written, we review every detail of your tenancy agreement. Are your tenants in breach? Does their behavior fall under mandatory grounds (like persistent arrears)? Or is it a discretionary ground (like consistent late rent)? We comb through all this to make sure your notice will hold up under scrutiny.

  • Drafting the Notice

    We prepare your notice using Form 3, ensuring it meets every requirement under the Housing Act 1988. We’ll include the exact details the court needs—whether it’s clear evidence of rent arrears, tenant misconduct, or property damage. This notice isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s your strongest tool for securing possession.

  • Delivery Methods

    Serving a notice isn’t just about dropping it in the mail. We make sure it’s legally delivered using methods like:

  • Pre-Court Preparation

    If the notice doesn’t prompt the tenant to leave, you’ll need a Particulars of Claim for court proceedings. We handle the drafting, gathering all the evidence you’ll need, from payment histories to tenant communications.

  • Representation

    When it’s time to go to court, we don’t leave you to fend for yourself. We work closely with barristers who specialize in landlord-tenant law, ensuring you’re represented by someone who knows how to argue your case effectively.

Common Issues We Help Solve

Landlords Don’t Need More Headaches—We Fix These

We address rent arrears, tenant misconduct, property damage, and breaches of tenancy agreements with precision and efficiency.

Most landlords come to us because tenants have stopped paying. Using Ground 8, we address cases where tenants owe two months or more in unpaid rent. Our process ensures notices are served properly, avoiding common issues that delay outcomes.

If your tenant is disturbing neighbors or damaging your reputation, Ground 14 provides a way forward. We document incidents meticulously, making it clear to the court that eviction is necessary.

Under Ground 13, you can take action when tenants neglect or damage your property. We guide you in gathering evidence to support your claim, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

From subletting without permission to failing to maintain the property, Ground 12 allows landlords to address these breaches. We frame the notice in a way that leaves no room for argument.
