After searching for residential Writ of Possession services in Leicester, the client contacted Strikes High Court Enforcement for assistance.
Our Approach
Our agent Roy Bennett served the initial 14 day required notice giving the time and date the eviction would be happening on.
Roy Bennett attended the property alongside a locksmith and the landlord. On arrival, the team found that the occupant was still inside, despite previous notice having been served.
After gaining entry through a side door, Roy established contact with the occupant and explained the reason for the attendance. The occupant was given time to collect essential personal belongings, including identification, bank cards, money, medication and an overnight bag containing clothing.
Once the occupant confirmed that they had everything they needed for the immediate departure, Roy provided a copy of the relevant notice explaining the arrangements for collecting any remaining belongings.
The locksmith then changed the front door lock, and the team secured the property before completing a photographic record of its condition. Notices were displayed at the property and the keys were handed to the landlord.
Outcome
The Writ of Possession was successfully completed, allowing the landlord to regain possession of the property.
The occupant was given an opportunity to collect essential belongings before leaving, while arrangements were provided for retrieving the remaining possessions having been served with the Torts notice. The property was secured, with new locks fitted, notices displayed and photographic evidence recorded.
The attendance was completed within 40 minutes, and the keys were handed directly to the landlord.
