Section 8 · Possession Claims · England & Wales
We turn your tenancy details into a correctly drafted Section 8 notice and possession claim (N5/N119) in minutes — not a week of second-guessing forms.
The sequence
Regaining possession follows a fixed legal order. Miss a stage or get the timing wrong, and the court can throw the claim out. Here's exactly where you are, and what's next.
We draft the notice against the grounds that actually apply to your tenancy — arrears, breach of terms, or other statutory grounds — and calculate the correct notice period.
Form 3The tenant has a set number of days to respond or leave, calculated from the grounds you're relying on. We flag the exact date it expires.
14–28 daysIf the tenant hasn't left, we prepare the possession claim form ready for the court — cross-referenced against the notice so the two documents agree.
N5 / N119Your bundle arrives print-ready, in the order the court expects to see it, so the hearing is about your case — not missing paperwork.
County CourtWhy the paperwork matters
Without a valid Section 8 notice — correct grounds, correct notice period, correctly served — you have no lawful route to ask a court for possession. Any attempt to remove a tenant without one risks an unlawful eviction claim against you.
Serving notice doesn't remove a tenant on its own. The possession claim form is the document that puts the matter in front of a judge and asks for an order — it's the difference between a warning and an enforceable outcome.
Courts check that the claim matches the notice — same grounds, same dates, same tenancy details. A mismatch is one of the most common reasons landlords are sent back to start again.
A rejected or defective claim doesn't just delay you — it resets the clock. Every day the process is on hold is a day rent may go unpaid.
