Court Proceedings - Ground 1, Landlord or Family Occupation

Ground 1 allows a landlord to recover possession where they, or a close family member, genuinely intend to occupy the property as their home. Our fixed fee for the Stage 2 possession proceedings under Ground 1 (landlord or family occupation) is £XXXX including VAT. This fixed fee “Complete Service” includes the following:

• Preparation and issuing of the possession claim in the County Court
• Preparation of the court documents and witness statement required for an undefended possession claim
• The court issue fee (£404)
• Legal representation at the court hearing*
• Value Added Tax

This service is designed to give landlords certainty over costs when seeking possession where the property is required for occupation by the landlord or a qualifying family member. *This fixed fee applies where the claim proceeds on an undefended basis. If the tenant files a defence or the matter becomes contested, further work and additional costs will be required and will be discussed with you before any such work is undertaken.
