The Legal 4 Landlords' Eviction Team will look at your situation and give you advice on the fastest route to eviction: our Eviction Step 1 service means we will take the problem from you and deal with the tenant direct, we will serve the relevant notices with our sherriff officer and speak with the local authority to try and have them re-housed ASAP.
It's all about the attention to detail. The majority of eviction cases that are thrown out of court are because the paperwork was not completed correctly. Legal 4 Landlords will ensure the notices are served correctly and a possession order is granted.
