Property, Housing & Possession Proceedings

Guidance for landlords, tenants and homeowners on possession disputes, rent arrears and mortgage repossession. An appropriately authorised solicitor can handle court proceedings under an agreed instruction.

Possession & repossession orders

Reviewing notices, grounds for possession, tenancy or mortgage documents, arrears and applicable pre-action requirements. Solicitor-led work can include claim forms, supporting particulars, defences and hearings, subject to the correct procedure and current law.

Preventing or delaying loss of a home

Assessing repayment proposals, defences and applications to suspend or vary an order or warrant where the law permits. Act promptly on notices and hearing dates; free housing advice or legal aid may be available when your home is at risk.

Housing disputes & enforcement

Unlawful eviction, harassment, tenancy disputes, disrepair and deposit issues where applicable. Obtaining a possession order is distinct from enforcing it; eviction must follow the lawful court and enforcement process rather than self-help.

Discuss Your Legal Matter

Every case starts with a consultation so we can assess the merits and confirm a written quotation. This page is general guidance for England and Wales, not advice on an individual case.
