Our fully qualified ARLA team members have a strict arrears procedure (following the letter of the law).
Seven and fourteen day letters, telephone calls and red rent reminders are all used as tools to chase late rent payments. As soon as the law permits, the service of a Section 8 Notice is undertaken (Housing Act 1988 as amended 1996). Once this has expired we will deal with all the paperwork necessary and instruct solicitors on your behalf. From this point forward and up to obtaining court judgement and eviction order regular contact is kept between landlord, agent and solicitor.
