Common Questions About Tenant Eviction
How long does the tenant eviction process take?
The full eviction process typically takes between 4-6 months from start to finish, depending on several factors including notice type, court backlogs, and whether bailiff enforcement is required. Section 21 evictions using the accelerated procedure can sometimes be faster if all documentation is in order and the tenant doesn't contest the action.
What is the difference between Section 8 and Section 21 notices?
Section 8 notices are used when a tenant has broken the terms of their tenancy agreement, such as rent arrears or property damage. They can be served at any time during the tenancy.
Section 21 is a 'no-fault' eviction notice that can only be used after a fixed-term tenancy ends or during a periodic tenancy. You don't need to provide a reason for eviction with a Section 21 notice, but you must have complied with all legal obligations as a landlord.
How much does it cost to evict a tenant?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case and how far through the process you need to go. Basic eviction services start from £299, with full representation packages available. Additional costs may include court fees (currently £355 for possession claims), bailiff fees (currently £121), and other expenses. We provide transparent pricing and will explain all potential costs before you commit to any service.
Can I recover my eviction costs from the tenant?
In many cases, you can ask the court to order the tenant to pay your costs, particularly if the eviction is due to rent arrears or other breaches of the tenancy agreement. However, whether these costs can actually be recovered depends on the tenant's financial situation. Our solicitors can advise on the likelihood of cost recovery in your specific case.
