Eviction Services
Debt Recovery Direct are specialists in every aspect of eviction, including travellers, trespassers and squatters, as well as Residential tenants and commercial properties.
Please be aware that, if you are a private landlord/landowner you do not need a court order for possession. If travellers have set up their camp on your land, you are allowed to evict them and their vehicles. This is all covered under Halsbury’s Laws of England and The Common Law. In addition to their vehicles, these trespassers will also be required to remove any other belongings they might leave behind, including litter and waste.
Under the Common Law, this action is also endorsed by the UK Government. If you’re looking for more information on removing travellers from your land, you can read the Home Office Guidance on the Removal of Illegal Encampments.
Once instructed by you, we will usually dispatch a Bailiff (a Certificated Civil Enforcement Agent) to your property. Depending on when you’ve contact us, this will be either later that same day, or first thing the following morning. In some cases, our bailiff services will resolve the issue later that same day, or in just a few short days.
Residential Evictions
The Steps we provide...
STEP ONE
We will serve a Section 8 or 21 Notice on your problem tenant. It will warn them to pay the outstanding rent or to leave the property.
STEP TWO
Over 80% of tenants leave after Step One. If not, we will arrange court proceedings to obtain a possession order and money judgement from the County Court.
STEP THREE
If your problem tenant has not left your property by the date set by the Judge, we will attend and evict.
At Debt Recovery Direct, we’ve been able to work alongside a range of local and district councils. We’ve also helped businesses and individuals to protect their property from travellers, trespassers and squatters. Just some of the private groups we’ve worked alongside include: Football Clubs, Leisure Centres & Chains, Supermarkets, Property Management Companies, Breweries, Shopping Centres, PLCs, Farms & Private Landowners.
