Having trespassers occupying a client’s premises or land can be very stressful if not costly. Especially when having to make good the damage caused by the squatters and trespassers, in order to re-let and re-use the premises or land for its rightful and intended use.
We can solve the challenges presented by helping landlords to invoke their common law rights to the Tort of Trespass* in order to return the land or property back to the rightful owner.
Instruct us via the online warrant to ensure removal of trespassers and illegal occupants from commercial properties. This includes commercial squatters and fly traders operating from empty retail premises as well as unauthorised trespassers and occupiers of industrial and agricultural land.
For each scenario Court Enforcement Services makes available to the client our team’s knowledge bank and experience, to provide the appropriate strategy.
If you are unfamiliar with the legal process and have any questions or would like further information on our Eviction of Trespassers Services we are on hand to help.
We are happy to take you through the process so please call us on 01992 663 399 to discuss or if you prefer email crar@courtenforcementservices.co.uk
On completion of an online Warrant or it being emailed/faxed to Court Enforcement Services, even though the squatters are in situ, we will promptly and peaceably enter the premises with our services contractors. On taking control of and switching off the services, boarding up the windows, changing the locks, we will then restore complete control of the property to the landlord or managing agent.
Again using common law remedy, on receipt of the warrant, Court Enforcement Services will manage the project on your behalf. Our agents will attend the site and;
Our operatives are excellent communicators and negotiators, ensuring that a clear explanation of the consequences of remaining on-site is provided. However should the trespassers refuse to vacate the land as directed, Our Enforcement Agents will re-attend to facilitate their removal.
On receipt of your instructions, Court Enforcement Services will act promptly. Provided that the online warrant is received, faxed or emailed before noon, we can undertake this action on the same day of receipt of the warrant.
Expulsion
The person who is entitled to procession may request a trespasser to leave and if the Trespasser refuses, may remove him from the land, using no more force than is reasonably necessary. However, if the force used in turning out the trespasser is excessive the person who used the force himself commits a trespass upon the person of the person removed.
Self Help
The party in possession may use reasonable force to resist wrongful entry by the trespasser e.g. by erecting fences and putting on barbed wire fences. In cases of security dogs, he should have control over it and notify people about a dog in every entrance.
Should you have a High Court Writ for Possession or a County Court Order Possession we can implement this on your behalf.
If you have a County Court Order for Possession, (CCJ), our fast and free transfer-up service to High Court Enforcement is available. As soon as we receive your instruction via our Online Form to transfer up, authorising our High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO), we guarantee immediate acknowledgement, as well as fast and effective service.
