A client wished to sell a property and relocate abroad, but the tenants had fallen behind on rent and showed no signs of catching up. To move forward with the sale, the client needed to regain possession of the property and instructed Counsel to assist with the eviction process.
The matter was complicated by persistent difficulties. The tenants resisted every stage of the process and failed to comply with eviction orders. At the same time, the county court was slow to formalise the orders that Counsel had successfully obtained, creating further delay and forcing the client to incur additional costs in pursuing enforcement.
Counsel took a proactive approach, persistently chasing the court to ensure orders were processed and deadlines enforced. At both the eviction and enforcement hearings, Counsel dismantled the tenants’ arguments and secured favourable outcomes for the client. Despite the obstacles, Counsel’s persistence ensured that the eviction was ultimately carried through to the bailiff stage. With the property recovered, the client was finally able to complete the sale and move on to the next chapter of their life abroad.
