As the rental market evolves, landlords face growing challenges in securing timely possession of their properties. When tenants refuse to vacate, landlords must navigate legal proceedings—typically by submitting an N244 application for a County Court Judgment (CCJ). However, many landlords stop at the County Court level, leading to significant delays that can cost time, money, and peace of mind.
One of the most effective yet under utilised strategies is transferring eviction cases to the High Court for enforcement. Many landlords are unaware that they can request this transfer during the initial application, potentially saving months of waiting and avoiding substantial financial losses.
Tenant eviction can be legally complex, but High Court enforcement offers the fastest solution for regaining control of your property.
By transferring the case to the High Court, landlords can regain possession in as little asthree weeks. The key difference is that a Writ of Possession is enforced by Certificated Enforcement Agents, who act far more quickly than County Court bailiffs, ensuring significantly faster results.
One of the most common missed opportunities is failing to request “leave to transfer” to the High Court when initially applying for possession. This simple step can be includedin the N244 application, eliminating the need for a separate transfer request later.
By planning ahead and requesting the transfer early, landlords can save months offrustration and thousands of pounds in lost rental income.
While High Court enforcement may involve some upfront costs, the long-term financialbenefits far outweigh them. High Court enforcement is significantly faster and more efficient than County Courtbailiffs, helping landlords recover losses sooner.

Many landlords assume that an order of possession automatically covers unpaid rent, but this is not the case—they are separate claims.
To recover unpaid rent, landlords must request both possession and a money judgment on the application form.
Once granted, landlords have up to six years to enforce the money judgment.

Most residential occupiers can only be evicted if the landlord obtains a possession order and enforces it via a warrant or writ of possession.
However, some tenants and licensees can be peaceably evicted without the need of a court order. They are referred to as "excluded occupiers."
If you are a landlord and have issues with one of these occupiers and need help to lawfully evict them then Elite Enforcement Services may be able to help you.
These are people who share living accommodation with a resident landlord and homeless applicants in interim accommodation.
If the occupier has a written agreement that specifies a notice period, then the landlord must give this notice in line with the agreement this may be 7, 14 days etc
Common law rules can be applied if there is no clause about notice or no written agreement therfore are not protected as say as someone with an assured tenancy agreement.
If the agreement does not specify a notice period then the period of notice must be the same as the rental period, for example a week's notice for a weekly tenancy etc. The notice must expire on the first or last day of a period of the tenancy.
There is no prescribed form and the notice does not to be in writing unless specified in the agreement.
If the agreement does not specify a notice period, then the landlord must give reasonable notice. Again this does not need to be in writing.
You can peaceably evict the occupier once the excluded tenancy or licence ends. For example, once a notice has expired, the landlord can change the locks while the occupier is out.
The landlord may be committing an offence if it becomes violent. It is an offence for any person 'without lawful authority' to use violence against someone else to secure entry to premises where there is someone present opposed to entry.
So don't risk getting yourself into this situation and call Elite Enforcement Services, the professionals to undertake that difficult task for you.
