Case study: Court Error and Bailiff Failure

Premier Service Value Delivered: £20,000

Following possession, enforcement was delayed by court backlog and an administrative error that resulted in the bailiff attending the wrong property.

How we supported the landlord

  • We identified the court error and managed corrective action
  • A lawful alternative strategy was recommended to avoid restarting proceedings
  • All legal and enforcement costs were absorbed by us
  • Rental income support continued during the extended possession process in line with the service terms

Possession was achieved without further hearings or re-issued proceedings. Without the Premier Service, the landlord would have faced renewed enforcement action, additional legal costs and further loss of rental income.

Case study: Counter-Claims and Appeals Managed to Conclusion

Premier Service Value Delivered: £27,411

The tenant raised counter-claims relating to deposit handling, property condition and eviction, alongside multiple appeals.

How we supported the landlord

  • We coordinated legal strategy to respond to counter-claims
  • Disputed sums were addressed pragmatically
  • Appeals and enforcement were managed by us
  • Legal and enforcement costs were absorbed by us
  • Rental income support was provided throughout the possession process

Possession was enforced via bailiff, with no adverse judgment against the landlord. Without the Premier Service, the landlord would have faced prolonged litigation, legal expense and income loss.
