Squatter proceedings cover the situation where someone occupies a residential property without permission. A solicitor helps a homeowner or landlord obtain possession of the property, often via a civil claim for possession, applying for injunctions or warrants to remove the squatters, and coordinating with the police where necessary. The work also includes advising on evidential requirements, applying for appropriate orders, and handling any counter-claims or defences raised by the occupier.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The concrete risk is losing control of a home or investment and the potential for criminal or civil liability if enforcement steps are mishandled. A solicitor provides guidance on the correct procedural route, helps prepare and serve summons and notices, and oversees the process to secure a swift, lawful eviction through court orders and, if needed, warrant for possession and enforcement.
