£280 is the court fee It is good that you wrote them an e-mail about your concerns, would be used in evidence. Rather than paying them £280 to start the process, I would ask them to transfer the right to...
Hi Mike Just read these posts, I would not suggest to change the locks or moving in. Changing the locks without any notice would not stand in court and you cannot claim being a residential landlord after the event, the...
I represent Landlords and letting agents in courts as well as doing all the paper work for eviction. My evictions take less than 5 months and for undefended accelerated possession its under 3 months if the notice was not served...
