The Situation
Strikes Property Services Group was instructed by a commercial landlord’s representative to recover outstanding rent arrears under the Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR) procedure. The tenant, operating a beauty salon from a commercial site in Halifax, had accrued arrears totalling £1,964.50 with additional fees of £500.00.
Prior to our attendance, the tenant had made a partial payment of £464.50. But a significant balance remained outstanding. The client required a professional resolution that recovered the debt. Following a search for professional enforcement services in Halifax, representative engaged Strikes Property Services to execute the instruction with diligence and commercial sensitivity.
Our Approach
In early 2026, a Strikes enforcement agent attended the beauty salon premises during morning trading hours. The agent first confirmed the receipt of the prior payment, thereby establishing the adjusted outstanding balance with the tenant.
Recognising the importance of the tenant’s ongoing business operations, the agent negotiated a mutually agreeable resolution. It was determined that a full payment was not viable for the tenant. Consequently, the agent negotiated an immediate payment of £964.50, to be settled during the visit.
For the remaining balance of £1,500.00, a structured payment plan was proposed comprising three monthly instalments of £500.00 commencing the following month. Our agent contacted the office to seek approval for this arrangement, ensuring it aligned with the client’s interests and took into account the tenant’s forthcoming rent obligations. A strategic decision was made not to conduct an inventory or take control of goods, which could disrupt to the salon’s business. All necessary paperwork detailing the payment schedule and the legal implications of non-adherence was completed and served to the tenant.
Outcome
An immediate payment of £964.50 was secured on the day of attendance.
A formal, legally binding payment plan was established for the remaining £1,500.00, ensuring the landlord would recover the full debt in a structured manner. By prioritising negotiation over immediate enforcement against goods, our agent secured a positive result for the client while allowing the tenant to continue trading unhindered.
