The Accelerated Possession Procedure covers quick, court-backed steps to recover possession of residential property where a tenant has fallen into rent arrears or breached a tenancy, without a full possession claim. A solicitor assesses eligibility, drafts and serves the notice, and handles the court papers for issuing a possession order and warrant if needed. They also liaise with the landlord, arrange any required counterclaims, and present the case at court.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key stakes are the risk of losing the home and the legal remedy available to regain possession quickly. A solicitor ensures the correct notice is served, checks eligibility for the accelerated track, and manages evidence and court filings to avoid delays, enforcement steps, or breaches of tenancy rights.
