Evictions and repossessions
Eviction proceedings for non-payment of rent or precarious occupation, and actions for repossession and recovery of the property. Full support from the initial demand through to the effective return of the property, for private owners, companies and asset holders.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Review of the contract and property situation
We examine the lease agreement, occupation status and any arrears or breaches to determine the most appropriate eviction route and its formal requirements.
Payment or vacating demand
We serve the certified demand for payment or surrender of possession, the necessary precondition for judicial proceedings, with the correct drafting and legal effects.
Eviction claim and hearing
We file the eviction claim, consolidating unpaid rent recovery where appropriate, and manage the hearing with active defence of the landlord's interests.
Repossession and vacant possession
We coordinate with the court on the repossession date and manage the effective recovery of the property, including actions against occupant resistance or any handover incidents.
Who this is for
Private landlords with rent-defaulting or precarious tenants, asset holding companies and family offices with rental property portfolios, and banks or funds with occupied foreclosed assets needing swift and legally sound recovery of possession.
