Residential Eviction
For tenant eviction a landlord would generally serve one of two notices under the Housing Act 1988.
A Section 8 Notice is a 14-day notice seeking possession due to rent arrears, nuisance or breach of tenancy. A Section 21 Notice is a two month notice to terminate a tenancy agreement and seek possession.
Legal 4 Landlords often serve both simultaneously
Legal 4 Landlords are the UK's largest specialists in tenant evictions, with over 30 years experience in evicting tenants. We have experienced many scenarios and more importantly we been successful in every case. Legal 4 Landlords have a streamlined in-house system meaning we can often reduce the
eviction time by up to three weeks
- put into landlords' terms that's a massive three weeks' rent we can save you.
The Legal 4 Landlords eviction team will look at your situation and give you advice on the fastest route to eviction. Our Eviction Step 1 service means we will take the problem
from you and deal with the tenant direct; we will serve the relevant notices and speak with the local authority to try and have them re-housed ASAP.
It's all about the attention to detail. The majority of eviction cases that are thrown out of court are because the paperwork was not completed correctly. Legal 4 Landlords will ensure the notices are served correctly and a possession order is granted.
Legal 4 Landlords have evicted tenants across England, Scotland and Wales and with our network of offices we offer you local support with national experience.

Eviction Step1
Fixed Fee £99
Serve Tenant Notice We can serve the (a) section 8 notice & section 21 notice on your tenant for breach of tenancy agreement, as the first step of our residential eviction services. This is when most tenants realise how serious you are, and in most cases it's the only jolt they need.
Eviction Step2
Fixed Fee £499
Court Proceedings & Hearing To evict a problem tenant, Legal 4 Landlords Eviction Team issue court proceedings against your tenant, arrange the court date, arrange all your legal papers and go before the judge to obtain a possession order for regaining the property. This fee also includes a Court Issue Fee.
Eviction Step3
Fixed Fee £185
Bailiff instruction Very few nuisance tenants will remain in a property after a Possession Order has been granted. If the tenant does remain then our Eviction Team will arrange for the court bailiffs to remove your tenant, and you get your property back.
Fixed Fees Explained
Our fees are fixed due to two factors, firstly the amount of evictions we do therefore we can justify a cost effective service. Secondly with regards to Eviction Step Two, most cases are not defended by the tenant, thus reducing the amount of time utilised in court by our solicitors.
However, there are some cases where by the judge may adjourn the court hearing or the tenant puts in a mitigating defence. As I am sure you can appreciate, if this does happen, which is rare we will continue to move forward with this case on your behalf at an agreed fee.
This fee will be much lower for you rather than opting to use your own solicitor, on the other hand if you would like to continue with your own solicitor we would hand over all case information to you at no charge.
Hopefully this will not happen, but we , as Legal 4 Landlords cannot guarantee it.
