Tenant Eviction in Wellingborough

What is tenant eviction?

There is a set procedure for removing a tenant from your property if they have violated the terms of your tenancy agreement or committed certain other actions. The law sets out very clear procedures that a landlord has to follow in order to evict a tenant legally, and if you do not follow them you could suffer penalties for attempting to evict someone illegally or for harassment of a tenant. 

What are the legal reasons for evicting a tenant in Wellingborough?

There are actually quite a few, more than we could easily list here. But the most common legally acceptable reasons for evicting a tenant these days are:

• Damaging the property or allowing it to fall into disrepair
• Engaging in anti-social behaviour
• Late or unpaid rent
• Not complying with the rental agreement or other contract, perhaps by keeping a pet or smoking in the property.
• Providing you with false information, references or credit card details (either upon application or later)

Does it take a long time to evict a tenant in Wellingborough? 

Sometimes, yes. The procedures are designed to protect the tenant more than the landlord, and there is a very precise process you (or if at all possible, your solicitor) has to follow to evict someone effectively. 

Just a few of these steps would be choosing the correct type of eviction notice to use (based on the property and tenancy types), giving the tenant written notice of your intention to evict them, applying to the courts for a possession order for the property. Of course, if the tenant really wants to fight the process, it can get a great deal more complicated than that.

What is included in a Creativelegals eviction in Wellingborough?

If you choose to instruct us as your solicitors in a tenant eviction procedure, we’ll learn all about you, your property and your tenant. Once we understand the situation properly, we’ll typically take the following steps:

1)    We’ll serve notice of your intent to evict

We’ll give the tenant notice in writing that you are demanding that they leave the property and pay any outstanding or arrears rent.

2)    We’ll take the matter to court

If the problem tenant refuses to leave at stage 1 or fails to pay their arrears, we will make the initial filings with the courts to take matters further. Typically, this includes obtaining a court order for the eviction and for payment of rent arrears. 

3)    If necessary, we’ll instruct bailiffs

If your tenant refuses to comply with the court orders in step 2, we’ll instruct bailiffs who can legally remove them by force. It may also be possible for the bailiffs to seize some or all of the tenant’s movable property, to offset the rent arrears owed. 

How long does an eviction take in Wellingborough?

That all depends on the facts of your specific case. If they have broken the terms of their tenancy agreement with you, you may have to give them as little as 4 weeks’ notice to vacate, or as much as 6 months. It all depends on your agreement, and exactly which terms they have broken. COVID-19 has also made the notice periods longer than they used to be. 

If the tenant has not broken any term of the tenancy agreement but the agreement still allows an eviction, you will typically have to give at least 6 months’ notice. Again, this is due to the eviction ban and the coronavirus eviction changes.

Selling a property in Wellingborough

If you’re selling a property, we’ll help you fill out forms which provide your buyer with essential information such as boundaries, disputes or charges as well as title deeds from the land registry.

We can then work on the drafting and approval of the contract and making sure these are fully agreed between both the buying and selling parties. Once this has been completed and any enquiries resolved, we can handle the exchange of contracts, the transfer of deeds and completion of the sale.

Buying a property in Wellingborough

If you’re buying, our team can manage all essential processes such as managing the survey which may alert you to any structural problems with the building, managing offers of mortgages, organising information searches and raising any enquiries with the seller and their legal team.

Once these have been resolved, we manage the drafting and agreement of contracts and all pre completion proceedings such as requesting the mortgage from your provider. We will also prepare a transfer deed for you to sign and organise for the transfer of the deposit.

Finally, we’ll manage completion and post completion processes such as the payment of stamp duty.

Covid-19

As with many other things, Covid 19 has made buying and selling property much more complicated. The Government has advised against buying or selling a home at this time. However, if a sale is already in process it may be unavoidable.
There may be all sorts of issues such as if contracts are delayed or if a deal falls through. Although this can be extremely stressful, we can provide full expert advice and, when possible, fight to protect your interests.
