Landlord & Tenant Eviction Solicitors

Specialist Advice on Evictions and Possession Proceedings

At Wilson Law, our specialist housing solicitors have extensive experience in dealing with all types of eviction and possession cases. We act for:

• Tenants of local authorities, housing associations, and private landlords
• Private landlords seeking possession of their property
• Homeowners facing mortgage possession proceedings

Possession proceedings can arise for many reasons, including rent arrears, allegations of anti-social behaviour, or breaches of tenancy agreements. Whatever your situation, our solicitors provide clear, practical advice to protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.

Acting for Tenants

If you are a tenant facing eviction, our solicitors will act quickly to defend your position. We can help with:

• Challenging claims based on rent arrears or breaches of tenancy
• Identifying landlord errors in the eviction process
• Raising counterclaims, such as housing disrepair or deposit protection breaches
• Advising on whether your accommodation is suitable, safe, and affordable
• Applying to suspend eviction warrants, even after an order has been made

If bailiffs are due to attend, urgent action may still be possible. Our lawyers can sometimes secure a suspension of eviction if you agree to certain terms, such as a payment plan.

Acting for Landlords

We also support landlords who need to recover possession of their property. Our solicitors provide guidance on:

• Following the correct eviction procedure to avoid costly delays
• Preparing and serving possession notices (including Section 8 and Section 21 notices)
• Dealing with tenant breaches of tenancy agreements
• Representing landlords in court proceedings if necessary

Taking legal advice early helps landlords achieve a swift and lawful resolution while minimising risk.

Mortgage Possession Cases

If you are facing possession proceedings from your mortgage lender, we can:

• Negotiate affordable repayment plans
• Challenge unreasonable lender action
• Apply to suspend possession orders where possible

Our goal is always to protect your home and give you the best chance of resolving arrears or other issues with your lender.

What To Do If You Face Eviction

If you receive notice that your landlord or mortgage lender intends to recover possession of your home, seek legal advice immediately. Early action can make the difference between keeping your home and losing it.

If your rent arrears are due to a benefits issue, make sure you:

• Request a review or appeal with the benefits authority promptly
• Keep records of all correspondence and decisions

Our solicitors can advise you on both the eviction proceedings and related issues such as benefits or disrepair.
