As the rental market continues to change, landlords face increasing difficulties in reclaiming their properties promptly. When tenants refuse to vacate, landlords must navigate the legal system to regain possession. Many landlords rely solely on the County Court process, which can lead to significant delays in regaining possession, resulting in increased financial loss, and unnecessary stress.
A highly effective yet often overlooked approach is transferring eviction cases to the High Court for enforcement. Many landlords are unaware that this option is available from the outset, potentially reducing waiting times and minimizing financial setbacks.
When seeking a possession order through the County Court, landlords must enforce it with a warrant of possession, carried out by County Court bailiffs. However, due to backlogs, bailiff enforcement can take anywhere from three to eight months—or even longer in some areas.
By contrast, our High Court Eviction Service provides landlords and creditors with a powerful, legally backed solution for regaining possession of properties transferring enforcement to the High Court allows landlords to regain possession in as little as a few weeks. This is made possible through a Writ of Possession, enforced by High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs), who operate much more swiftly than County Court bailiffs, ensuring a faster resolution.
Where the circumstances of the possession allow, our legal team will always apply for permission to transfer the possession order to the High Court at the time of initial submission. This saves delays and costs in making a retrospective application. If you have a possession order already and need to make an application to transfer to the High Court, our lawyers are on hand to ensure this is submitted, quickly and using the correct wording.
Our High Court Eviction Service is designed to minimize delays, ensuring prompt execution of possession or debt recovery orders. Once a case is transferred from the County Court to the High Court, we will arrange agents to act quickly to enforce the writ, helping landlords secure their assets with minimal stress.
