Squatter Eviction Service
Unwanted visitors in your commercial or residential property? Illegal trespassers holding court on your land or property? Whether you’ve attempted to resolve the situation or not, we can be your solution for illegal occupiers and squatters in England and Wales.
Of course, squatter evictions can be taken care of by landlords or the property owner. But, without the right expertise, in-depth knowledge and procedures, you risk breaking the law. Not to mention the health and safety assessments that are required prior to action.
It’s just one reason that landlords, solicitors and managing agents trust us to the job.
Our Approach
Once you’ve instructed us, we’ll send out written authorisation (also known as a letter of enforcement). This provides the squatters with a 7-day notice period.
Often, the squatters will leave your property within 24 hours – as soon as notice is served on them. Sometimes, additional enforcement is required to proceed to the next stages of the eviction. Every case is different which is why we have a different approach for all – from changing the locks and occupying the property to establishing a payment plan.
Some cases may require court proceedings. Others can be carried out by common law. We’ll take care of all the legal proceedings – and you can have as much or as little involvement as you like. Every case is different but one thing’s certain: we will take away all of your stresses while ensuring the removal of the squatters.
Once an eviction has been successfully completed, you’ll receive a full report documenting our findings, the solution and the result. We’ll then advise you on how best to secure the site to protect against future squatters in the long term.
FAQ
What are enforcement agents?
Enforcement agents or a certificated enforcement agent is someone who has rights under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 in England and Wales to take control of a property, money or goods. They are also known as certificated bailiffs.
What is the typical approach?
Once you’ve been in touch and we’ve discussed your situation, we’ll send out a Notice of Enforcement. This is a written notice to either the tenant, squatter or trespasser detailing the offence, notice period and action needed. If nothing has been resolved during the specific period, then we’ll attend to the site to start the next stage.
What time will the enforcement agents attend site?
We work 7 days a week and can attend commercial premises seven days a week, during hours the business is trading.
Will you carry ID?
Yes. All our agents carry the appropriate ID and paperwork. They will show this before entering.
Do you work with the police?
Situations can get fraught. That’s why we often work with the police to diffuse environments and to prevent a breach of peace. We’ve built up a fantastic working relationship with local authorities all around the UK.
I’ve received a letter of notice. What does this mean?
If you’ve recently received a letter from us, then we’ve been instructed to collect a debt which is owed by you. Whether or not you agree, you must contact us to prevent the case from escalating.
When it comes to collecting a debt, what options are there?
We work with everyone’s best interests at heart. If you’re a private landlord, we’ll seek to obtain the full payment or regain control of the property. This can be done by changing the locks or establishing a payment plan.
What if your agent is refused entry or can’t get in?
We will make a number of in person visits at different times and days. If we still cannot gain access we can esculate the matter and seek an order from the court to obtain entry.
