In most cases a landlord or mortgage lender must apply to court for a Possession Order before the property can be lawfully repossessed. Often this is because of rent or mortgage arrears. Alternatively there may be allegations of breach of a tenancy or mortgage conditions or your landlord may simply want the property back so that it can be sold or re-let. We recommend that you seek advice as early as possible as there may be a defence to the claim.

Once your landlord or mortgage lender has a possession order they may be entitled to apply to the court to evict you. We may be able to apply to court for you to postpone the eviction.
