Has your tenant vacated the property, leaving unpaid rent, damages or other tenancy-related debts?
Strikes Property Services Group helps landlords and letting agents recover money owed by former residential tenants through a professional and compliant debt recovery process.
Unlike our Tenant Rent Arrears Notice service, which is designed for existing tenants still living in the property, this service focuses on recovering debts after the tenancy has ended.
From pre-action correspondence and payment negotiations through to legal proceedings and enforcement, we provide a complete debt recovery solution to maximise your chances of recovering what you’re owed.
Our service includes:
If your tenant has already vacated the property leaving outstanding rent arrears or other debts, our experienced team can help recover the money owed whilst managing the process on your behalf.
Get in touchWe review your case, assess the outstanding debt and examine the tenancy documentation to determine the most effective recovery strategy.
A compliant Letter Before Action is issued to the former tenant, outlining the outstanding debt and providing an opportunity to settle before legal proceedings commence.
Where appropriate, we negotiate directly with the debtor to agree affordable repayment plans and secure voluntary payment without unnecessary court action.
If payment is not made, we begin the legal process by issuing a County Court claim or Section 8 eviction notice.
Where successful, we obtain a County Court Judgment, creating the legal basis for further enforcement action if payment is still not forthcoming.
If the judgment remains unpaid, we can advise on and undertake the most appropriate enforcement action to maximise recovery.

Contact us for our current services feesWorking with a reputable debt recovery partner is the fastest way to recover what is legally owed, without unnecessary delays or complications. The process typically involves clear communication with the debtor, negotiation if appropriate, and, if required, escalation to formal legal proceedings. The established legal frameworks and compliance standards must be followed to ensure faster payment resolution.
Professional debt recovery companies such as Strikes Property Services Group provide expertise in navigating the complex rules and regulations, minimising risk and achieving timely resolution. Whether through amicable settlement or court enforcement, the goal is to return monies or property legally and as quickly as possible.
We recover debts owed by former residential tenants, including:
No. This service is specifically for recovering debts after a tenancy has ended.
If your tenant remains in occupation and has fallen behind with rent, our Tenant Rent Arrears Notice service is the appropriate first step, helping encourage payment before legal proceedings become necessary.
In short no. In most cases our intervention can lead to the recovery of monies without the need for court action. However, a County Court Judgment (CCJ) or eviction through the section 8 ground 8 proceedure is also one of the tools available.
Once you instruct us, we must issue your tenant a Pre-Action Protocol Debt Notice Demand for payment (often when the tenant first falls into arrears of 1-2 months). This notice, along with the required forms, outlines the arrears, your position, and the likely action taken if payment is not forthcoming.
We act promptly. Once instructed and all legal prerequisites are met, our enforcement agents can begin action, often within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the case.
If a tenant refuses to pay, we can escalate the matter through further legal channels, including enforcement via High Court Writs (once we have obtained a CCJ) or applying for an Attachment of Earnings Order, Charging Order, or Third Party Debt Order, depending on the circumstances. However, the majority of clients will instruct us to issue a section 8 ground 8 notice for eviction. As a non paying tenant is a drain on your resources and asset.
Absolutely. All our residential debt recovery actions are fully compliant with UK legislation, including Pre-Action Protocol and when needed the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 and relevant housing laws. Our team includes certificated enforcement agents and legal professionals who ensure ethical and lawful recovery.
We operate our debt recovery services across England and Wales, including major cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool.
We offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing and tailored packages to suit landlords, letting agents, and property managers. Some services are payable upfront, while others are invoiced with flexible terms. Contact us for a personalised quote.
