Forfeiture of Commercial Lease –

    Forfeiture of a commercial lease allows a landlord to repossess their commercial property under Common Law. Our specialist team you can avoid lengthy court proceedings.

    Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery is regulated under Section 72 of the Tribunal Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 and the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2014

    We offer a quick and efficient alternative.

    The most common breach of covenant is the tenant failing to make the necessary payments as stated within the contract between you. Other examples include the tenant conducting unauthorised actions, such as subletting without permission.

    Upon receipt of your instruction, an attendance will be made to peaceably re-enter your property within 24 hours. Our agents will attempt to gain access via a locksmith (outside of business/trading hours), make an inventory of goods within, take photographs and utility meter readings before displaying possession notices and securing the property.

    We will then send out a Torts (Interference With Goods Act 1977) Notice to the tenant’s last known home address, confirming our actions and advising them that they have an obligation to collect the goods within the property. Failing this, the landlord has the right to dispose of them as they see fit.

    Once the invoice has been paid, the new keys for the property are then sent special delivery to the landlord. The locksmith’s fees vary due to the number and quality of locks fitted.
