Possession and repossession proceedings cover what happens when a landlord seeks to regain a property from a tenant, or a mortgage lender seeks to recover an asset. A solicitor in this area helps the client with notices, court pleadings, and the steps needed to obtain a possession order in the county court or the High Court, and may handle eviction if a court approves it. They assess the facts, advise on applicable notices and defenses, and manage the procedural acts required to progress the case through the court system.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The adviser explains the consequences of proceedings, including possible eviction orders, deadlines for responding, and the impact on the client’s housing or ownership position. They provide guidance on court-driven steps, enforcement, and any associated remedies or appeals, ensuring the client understands the irreversible steps and deadlines that can determine the outcome.
