Many people threaten bankruptcy with a Statutory Demand but few rarely see it through as Robert rightly says the chances of getting what you're owed are slim to none. Also, the average costs for a solicitor to draw up a...

Hi Jason, Sorry to hear of your tenant woes. For info, I wrote an article on the subject earlier in the year which should be of some help: https://www.property118.com/disposing-of-goods-left-in-properties-after-eviction/83626/

This is not uncommon but it will often take a good few months for people to 'pop up' again. We spend a small fortune on tracing software and our in-house trace department would usually expect to wait 3 months before...

Reply to the comment left by "ashley peters" at "22/04/2016 - 20:20": With respect Peter, what relevance is that to the subject matter? Back on topic, Robert is right regarding something is better than nothing. Our powers are indeed somewhat...

Jamie makes a good point. I wrote an article on it last year as we found it difficult to manage expectations on such an emotive subject. https://www.property118.com/the-challenges-of-recovering-rent-arrears-from-residential-tenants/77625/

It's a tricky one I'm afraid. We regularly see Judges in the County Court allow what we consider to be paltry amounts as an arrangement to settle a judgment. I would advise your best bet is to do your research...

Reply to the comment left by "Luke P" at "21/03/2016 - 22:31": Hi Luke, Just to advise that The Sheriffs Office has never broadcast a residential eviction on our TV show. I think you are getting confused with "Can't Pay...

Get some prices on eviction first though as some agents just add fees to the charges of the actual HCEO. As a guide we would usually charge £395 plus VAT for a standard eviction. We've heard of some charging £800...

Here's a question. In the SDLT summary it states: The government has decided to increase the 18 month period to 36 months, for both of the scenarios set out above, as the most appropriate way to provide additional support. This...

Hi Gareth, reporting should really be within 3 days of a visit but this will depend on each HCEO company their processes and staffing. The reason 3 days is sensible is because this will allow any response from the debtor...

Reply to the comment left by "Ann Large" at "28/01/2016 - 12:49": Hi Ann, It will likely come down to what assets of value the debtors have. Unfortunately posts on Facebook rarely reflect a person's true financial position and often...

I'm surprised at this as it would seem to me they are missing out on an opportunity to recover enforcement fees in the matter. However, despite some fancy websites there a few new small HCEO companies in the market that...

Reply to the comment left by "Gareth Wilson" at "18/01/2016 - 11:27": Whilst I understand their caution in relation to an upcoming hearing as a writ has been issued the HCEO now has a lawful duty to the creditor to...

Reply to the comment left by "Gareth Wilson" at "17/01/2016 - 16:53": Hi Gareth, The HCEOs do not have to wait for the application to be heard as only a "stay of execution" prevents enforcement action. Having said that the...

Reply to the comment left by "Chris Byways" at "17/01/2016 - 14:58": Thanks Chris. You are right this was us. Our enforcement officer undertakes the repossession and we regularly use 'The Lockfather' as he is a former enforcement officer of...

Unfortunately, the author (an anti-eviction solicitor) is misinformed and has not read the recent Guidance Notes issued by the Senior Master of the High Court. I am out of the office at present but when in, shall post the details....
