Need your property back? Start with a notice that holds up

We check your grounds, then draft and serve a notice that holds up.

  • Keeping landlords safe since 1990
  • Wimbledon office, 45 Quicks Road
  • Every step checked by a person
  • Fixed price, shown before you pay

Why it matters

Section 21 'no-fault' evictions ended in England on 1 May 2026. To get a property back you now need a valid ground under Section 8, such as rent arrears, selling, or moving in yourself, and the right notice period for that ground. A notice with the wrong ground, wrong dates or poor service can be thrown out months later and you start again. We check which grounds apply, then draft and serve the notice properly.

What you get

  • A check of which possession grounds apply to your situation
  • The correct notice period for each ground
  • Section 8 notice drafted on the current prescribed form
  • Notice served on your tenant with proof of service
  • A written summary of next steps and key dates

Not included

  • Court proceedings. If the tenant does not leave, a possession claim is a legal matter, and we will refer you to a solicitor
  • Bailiff or enforcement action

Common questions

Can I still use a Section 21 notice?

No. Section 21 no-fault evictions were abolished in England on 1 May 2026. Possession now needs a valid ground under Section 8.

How much notice do I have to give?

It depends on the ground. Some grounds need a few weeks' notice and others need several months. Some, such as selling or moving in yourself, cannot be used in the first 12 months of a tenancy. We confirm the right period for your case.

What if my tenant still won't leave?

A notice does not by itself end the tenancy. If the tenant stays after it expires, you need a possession order from the court. That stage is legal work, so we refer you to a solicitor.

Do I need to use Rentals and Sales as my letting agent?

No. These are standalone, fixed-fee services for self-managing landlords. You keep managing your property and we do the one job you have paid for.

Which properties do you cover?

Residential lets in England. We are based in Wimbledon and most of our work is in south-west London, but paperwork-based services can be delivered for properties elsewhere in England.

General information for residential lettings in England, not legal advice. Rules depend on the tenancy and can change. Check current government guidance.
