In short: Use a specialist when arrears are building, the tenant disputes the claim, or you cannot afford a notice being rejected after the 2026 changes. Fraser Bond's property legal service handles possession from notice to bailiff appointment.

What a specialist does

Checks the tenancy and compliance paperwork, chooses the right ground, serves notice, issues the claim, prepares the evidence bundle, attends the hearing and applies for the warrant.

Typical costs

Often a fixed fee per stage plus court fees. Rent guarantee or legal expenses insurance may cover it.
