As with tenants, squatters have rights too but without a contract with the property owner will find eviction is a much more contentious area. Although squatting is a criminal offence as set out in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the offenders cannot be removed without a court order.
Evict a Tenant has all the experienced legal knowledge required to ensure the fastest possible eviction of squatters with hundreds of successful cases and years of practice by our team.
We take on the case, draft urgent proceedings and arrange a court date which in most cases is within 14 days. We put forward your case at the hearing and obtain a possession order for your property for you.
To avoid a delay in the county court arranging bailiffs to evict squatters, which can take several weeks, we arrange High Court Sheriffs to enforce the possession order.
