Longer arrears thresholds, extended possession timelines and far greater procedural scrutiny following the Renters’ Rights Act means that mistakes are no longer minor setbacks - they are expensive, time-consuming events.
In a slower, more complex possession landscape, delay equals lost income, and technical errors can add months to an already extended process. But rather than reacting to problems once they arise, our Premier Service is built to manage risk proactively from the outset.
Premier Service case study – Value delivered: £18,274+
As an example, we are currently handling an extended possession case with one of our landlords that has been going on for almost two years.
This process has involved multiple hearings, repeated tenant appeals, licensing arguments and severe court delays.
How Premier Service has supported the landlord:
• We managed the possession process from instruction through to enforcement
• Specialist solicitors were instructed and managed directly by us
• All hearings, appeals and procedural steps were coordinated through the service
• Legal and enforcement costs were absorbed by us as part of the service
• Rental income support was provided by us during the possession period in line with the service terms
• The landlord received regular updates without needing to engage directly in the legal process
• Tenant appeals ultimately dismissed, costs awarded by the court, and bailiff enforcement continues, fully managed by us
Without the Premier Service, the landlord would have needed to fund the legal process themselves, manage an 18-month possession case, and absorb prolonged loss of rental income.
Under the Renters’ Rights Bill:
• Notice periods are longer
• Possession claims take more time to reach court
• Delays at bailiff stage will become routine
• Each adjournment directly increases rental income loss
Premier Service – Built-in rent and legal cover
Our Premier Service is structured to actively manage the risks of everything taking longer, rather than leaving landlords to navigate them alone.
