Edit Content

The landlord does not require a court order for commercial premises, as the landlord has the common law right to take peaceful re-entry.

Edit Content

Usually within 24 hours of instruction.

Edit Content

An enforcement agent would attend the premises with a locksmith (outside normal trading times) to gain access and change the locks. A full inventory will be taken of the goods inside the property as well as taking photographic evidence. They will also note the meter readings if visible. We will post notices confirming that the premises have been repossessed by the landlord. Upon completion, the enforcement agent will deliver the keys locally or send them to the instructed address by registered post.

Edit Content

If instructed a Notice is prepared and displayed in accordance with Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977at the premises advising the tenant/whom it may concern that they must contact either us or the landlord by a set date (normally seven to 14 days) to arrange the collection of the goods.

Edit Content

No. The goods belong to the tenant and they are entitled to remove them from site.

Edit Content

In accordance with theTorts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, once the date has expired and no contact has been received, you will be able to remove the goods and sell them at auction. However, you can only recover the removal and auctioneer’s costs from the proceeds of the sale.

Edit Content

No. The two methods cannot be used for the same breach of the tenancy agreement so you will need to decide which method is most desirable which was recently clarified in Thirunavukkrasu v Brar & Brar [2018] EWHC 2461 (Ch).

Edit Content

No we cannot as in the case of Pirabakaran v Patel & Patel [2006] 26 May CA, [2006] EWCA Civ 685. The tenant had a shop with a flat above in which he lived and was a business tenancy within Landlord & Tenant Act 1954. When he fell behind with his rent the landlords forfeited the lease with Bailiffs who took possession of the shop and flat. The Court of Appeal held that the forfeiture was not lawful because the landlords had not obtained a prior court order as required by Section 2 of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.
