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.
Rent Arrears
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.
Anti-Social Behavior
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.
Property Damage
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the eviction process take with a Section 8 Notice?
It varies depending on the grounds. For Ground 8, the notice period is two weeks. From there, a court hearing is typically scheduled within 6-8 weeks. The entire process often wraps up within 12 weeks if handled correctly.
Q: What happens if my Section 8 Notice is challenged?
If tenants dispute the notice, we’ll guide you in preparing evidence—such as rent payment records or incident reports—and work with barristers to argue your case effectively in court.
Q: Is there a specific form I need for Section 8 Notices?
Yes, the prescribed form is Form 3, which must be completed accurately and include specific details about the grounds for possession. Mistakes can lead to dismissal, so professional drafting is essential.
Q: Can I serve both a Section 8 and a Section 21 Notice?
