Regaining possession of your property.

Eviction specialists.

Eviction specialists

Depending on the circumstances, we will draft and serve an appropriate notice to the tenant seeking possession of the property.

Over 80% of tenants leave after step 1. If not, our in-house solicitor will start drafting proceedings to obtain a possession order and money judgment from the County Court.

Once you have a possession order (and money judgment) from the court it will specify the last date the tenant has to move out of the property. We will serve this on the tenants.

If the tenant fails to leave the property by the date in the court order, our solicitors will then make an application for a warrant of control. This will allow you to instruct a bailiff to remove the tenant.

We have a team of bailiffs within our network that we are able to instruct on short notice and that are local to the area.

On the day of the bailiff attendance, we will supervise the removal of the tenant and secure possession of the property.

Once possession of the property is handed back to us, we will arrange for our locksmith to change the locks to all exterior doors and provide you with the new keys.

We will prepare a schedule of condition of the property as at the date of the tenant's removal.

We will advise you of items that require maintenance and repair before the property is marketing for re-letting or sale.

Our eviction management services are proven to be popular amongst landlords that do not currently have a managing agent. Contact us to find out more.

Luke Jones (Buyer)

As a first time buyer, Checkmate Estates couldn't have made the process any easier for me and my girlfriend. From the initial phone call through to obtaining the key we felt completely confident with their service. The thing that helped us the most was the fact that they obtained our trust. They were reassuring and honest. We were offered complete support at all stages. This made the whole process a lot less stressful and a smoother experience. We will never forget Checkmate Estates

-Mr R Wray, Wembley, HA0 (Seller)

From the beginning Checkmate Estates made it clear that they would manage the sale of our home efficiently. Despite some challenging times with the sale which was not on their part, they remained in constant communication, looking to resolve any of our issues and concerns. They guided us through front start to finish and were friendly, supportive and professional throughout. We would definitely recommend Checkmate Estates. 23/11/2018

Mr. D. Patel, Maida Vale, W9 (Landlord)

I struggled to collect rent from my tenant in my property and consulted with Checkmate Estates as to how they would go about collecting the arrears. Within 2 months, all of the arrears were collected and paid to my account and now they have continued to manage my property. I underestimated the amount of effort and work involved in letting but Checkmate Estates has solved my worries.
