Nationwide Squatter Evictions

First you need to draft and seal your High Court Writ of Possession, after you have obtained a Possession Order and permission to transfer to the High Court for enforcement purposes.

As soon as you receive the Writ, you can instruct a squatter eviction team which can be dispatched to the enforcement address where they will require any occupants to leave the property.

In most cases the Enforcement Officers will arrange for a locksmith to come to change locks. 

Using HCEOs can be quicker than using the County Court Bailiffs due to their wait times; usually within 24hr-48hrs of having it sealed at the High Court in London.

There is a £66.00 disbursement payable to HM Courts and Tribunal Service for obtaining the High Court Writ of Possession. Then High Court Enforcement Officer fees for executing the Writ of Possession and carrying out squatter eviction are determined by how long it takes to evict the squatters, as most charge for their time.

Our enforcement team are High Court Enforcement Agents (HCEAs), enabling us to enforce County Court Orders of Possession in the High Court to evict squatters living in your premises. When obtaining a Possession Order against squatters as part of the squatter eviction process, you will need to make your claim against 'persons unknown'. We will attach the Court Order on the main door of the property along with all the particulars of the claim and any witnesses statements you have.

While it may be tempting to be present during the enforcement process, we strongly discourage this practice for several reasons. Firstly, your presence could potentially escalate the situation, leading to unnecessary confrontations or disputes with the debtor or occupant. Such confrontations can not only be stressful but also counterproductive, as they may complicate the enforcement process.

Secondly, your attendance could inadvertently hinder the effectiveness of the enforcement action. Our Enforcement Agents are trained professionals who are well-versed in the legal and procedural aspects of enforcement. They know how to handle various scenarios that may arise during the process, from negotiating with debtors to dealing with hostile occupants. Your presence could distract from these tasks and make the enforcement less efficient.

In essence, our primary goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for you, and to do that, it's crucial that our agents can operate without any additional complications. Trusting the expertise of our Enforcement Agents ensures that the process is carried out as smoothly and effectively as possible.
