HMCTS Tenant Eviction Delay – How DCBL Can Help

16th June 2023

London’s bustling real estate market has long been a hub for property owners, investors, and landlords. However, a pressing issue is now plaguing many landlords: delayed evictions/residential possession.

HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has laid out plans to delay evictions due to unspecified health and safety reasons.

The safety concerns emerge due to the requirement for bailiffs to have additional personnel accompanying them when they visit properties in order to guarantee their safety. Unfortunately, this stipulation appears to have caused the system to come to a halt.

The news regarding tenant eviction delay has, understandably, created a level of frustration for many landlords.

Cancelling all scheduled evictions for the foreseeable has had an immediate and significant impact on landlords looking for eviction services.

The news article reported that one bailiff had an 80% decrease in workload, posing a very large threat to landlords needing to evict problematic tenants. 

If you are a landlord that has been affected by this news, DCBL can assist you with a solution that will save you from waiting to reclaim possession of your property.

Eviction Delay – What Does The News Mean for Landlords?

The legal process of removing tenants can be lengthy and arduous, resulting in significant financial burdens and stress for landlords.

The above, mixed with the eviction delay news, is sure to put a lot of property owners in difficult scenarios.
