What We Do

Our Services

Taylor Lloyd Law provides end-to-end possession support for landlords and letting agents across England and Wales. From the first notice through to debt recovery, we cover every stage.

01

Section 8 Notices — All Grounds

We handle Section 8 possession notices across all available grounds — rent arrears, persistent non-payment, anti-social behaviour, breach of tenancy, and every new ground introduced under the Renters' Rights Act 2026.

We identify the correct ground for your situation, advise on the applicable notice period, and ensure every element is correctly in order before the notice is served. Using the wrong ground or the wrong notice period can invalidate your entire claim — we make sure that does not happen.

  • Ground 8: Serious rent arrears (3 months under RRA 2026)
  • Ground 8A: Persistent arrears — new mandatory ground
  • Ground 7A: Anti-social behaviour — updated under RRA 2026
  • Ground 1A: Landlord wishing to sell — new mandatory ground
  • All discretionary grounds covered
  • Advice on service by hand or post and relevant timelines
02

Court Possession Proceedings

When a tenant fails to vacate following a Section 8 notice, the next step is making an application to the court for a possession order. This is where many landlords make costly procedural errors — we ensure every element is correctly prepared before submission.

We guide you step by step through the claims process — from preparing your supporting documentation and rent schedule to providing clear written instructions for submitting and attending court. You make the decisions and sign the documents; we make sure everything is properly in order.

  • Guidance on the correct claim route for your specific case
  • All supporting documentation prepared to the correct standard
  • Rent schedule reformatted and verified
  • Step-by-step written instructions for online claim submission
  • Court bundle and tenant bundle guidance
  • Support from initial submission through to the possession order
03

Warrant & Bailiff Enforcement

Obtaining a possession order is not always the end of the process. If the tenant remains in the property after the order, the next step is a warrant of possession — which allows the court's enforcement officers to attend the property and physically remove the tenant.

We advise on the correct process for applying for a warrant, the options available depending on your circumstances, and what to expect on the day of enforcement. Where speed is essential, we also advise on transferring enforcement to the High Court.

  • Guidance on applying for a warrant of possession
  • Advice on scheduling county court bailiff enforcement
  • High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO) transfer advice
  • Guidance on securing the property and changing locks
  • Advice on handling abandoned goods and tenant belongings
  • Support through to confirmed vacant possession
04

Debt Recovery

Once possession is obtained, outstanding rent arrears do not have to be written off. There are several legal routes available to recover unpaid rent from a former tenant, and the right approach depends on the tenant's circumstances and assets.

We advise on each available recovery method, help you assess the realistic prospects of recovery, and guide you through whichever route is most appropriate for your situation. Debt recovery can proceed alongside or after possession proceedings.

  • Money Claim Online (MCOL) through the County Court
  • County Court Judgment (CCJ) — formal debt judgment
  • Attachment of earnings — deductions from tenant's wages
  • Charging order — secured against tenant-owned property
  • Third party debt orders where appropriate
  • Assessment of recovery prospects before proceeding
05

We work with both independent letting agents and large national agencies, providing dedicated possession and eviction support across multi-landlord portfolios. If you manage a high volume of properties and need a reliable, experienced partner for possession cases, we deliver consistent support at scale.

  • Support across multi-landlord portfolios at volume
  • Section 8 notice review and preparation
  • Court proceedings guidance for multiple simultaneous cases
  • RRA 2026 compliance review across your caseload
  • Consistent response times and single point of contact
  • Trusted by both independent agents and national agencies
06

RRA 2026 Compliance Review

The Renters' Rights Act 2026 came into force on 1 May 2026 and has fundamentally changed the possession landscape. If you have live cases, existing Section 8 notices, or ongoing proceedings, it is critical that they are reviewed for compliance with the new framework.

We review live cases and advise on the impact of the new Act on your current proceedings — including whether existing notices remain valid, which grounds now apply, and whether PRS Database registration is in place ahead of the September 2026 deadline.

  • Review of live cases for RRA 2026 compliance
  • Advice on the impact of Section 21 abolition on current cases
  • Assessment of which Section 8 grounds now apply
  • Updated guidance on Ground 8, 8A, 1A and 7A
  • PRS Database registration advice ahead of September 2026
  • Immediate action plan for any non-compliant cases
