Evicting a tenant is only ever a last resort — and it can be a difficult, emotional process. If it does come to it, Hexagon handles the whole procedure for you: a clear three-stage service that gets you back in control of your property with as little stress as possible.
Every eviction is unique and can be complex. As a landlord you must stay fully compliant with current legislation and treat your tenant fairly throughout, whatever has happened. Our property experts assess each case independently and give you advice that’s specific to your situation, tenant and property.
A structured path through the possession process — most cases never need to go past the first stage.
We prepare the correct legal notice for your grounds and serve it on your tenant — by hand or recorded delivery — with full proof of service. Since the Renters’ Rights Act, that means using the right Section 8 possession ground for your circumstances.
For the majority of problem tenants, a properly served notice is enough to prompt a response and recover the property.
If the notice isn’t met, we prepare and submit all the court documents on your behalf — the possession claim, plus a money claim for arrears where appropriate.
An experienced member of our team can attend and support you at the hearing, or we’ll arrange a solicitor through our in-house legal contacts.
Once a possession order is granted in your favour, the tenant must vacate by the date set by the judge. If they refuse, we apply for a bailiff warrant and the court arranges for a bailiff to attend.
We’re with you at every step until you have your property back — making a difficult time as straightforward as it can be.
One call lets us assess your case and talk you through the options, so you can make a sound decision on the best way to proceed.
