Our 3 stage fixed fee eviction process is straightforward and hassle-free.
At CJK Legal, we only deal with landlord and tenant issues. The two partners, Chris and Kevin, have over 50 years of legal experience between them.
They are also the sole directors of The Letting Group, a significant lettings company based in the North East of England, meaning they have a unique insight and understanding of the needs of landlords.
When a tenant problem arises, we can serve legal notice demanding payment of rent and/or possession of the property.
If tenants remain after Stage 1, we can issue County Court proceedings, obtaining a possession date & CCJ for rent arrears.
*Up to and including the first hearing only.
If the Tenant has not vacated after Stage 2, we can instruct the County Court bailiff to physically remove them.

If you have questions about our fees or how the eviction process works, we’ve answered some of the most common queries below to help you understand what to expect before instructing us.
Yes. If your tenant has fallen into rent arrears, you may be able to serve a Section 8 notice based on rent arrears grounds. Depending on the amount owed and the circumstances, you may also be able to claim a County Court Judgment (CCJ) for the outstanding rent.
Every case is different. Factors such as the type of notice served, whether the tenant defends the claim, and current court waiting times can all affect the timescale. As a rough estimate, once the relevant notice has expired we would expect the Court to order the tenant to vacate the property in around 2 to 3 months from issuing the Court proceedings, and for the bailiff to attend (if required) around 6 weeks thereafter.
