Expert Solicitors for Rent & Service Charge Recovery

Our commercial lease solicitors help landlords recover unpaid rent and service charges from tenants. We pursue debt collection efficiently while protecting your commercial property investments across England and Wales.

How Our Solicitors Help with Rent & Service Charge Recovery

When tenants fail to pay rent or service charges, our solicitors step in to protect your income. We use a proven approach to recover what's owed while keeping costs proportionate.

Formal Demand Letters

Our solicitors send formal rent demands that put tenants on notice. This often prompts payment without the need for court proceedings, saving you time and legal costs.

  • Formal rent arrears notice
  • Service charge demand letter
  • Payment deadline enforcement
  • Interest calculation

Payment Negotiations

Our solicitors negotiate with tenants to agree repayment plans. We balance the need to recover funds quickly against maintaining good tenant relationships where possible.

  • Repayment plan agreements
  • Rent concession negotiations
  • Lease variation discussions
  • Mediation arrangements

Court Proceedings

When negotiations fail, our solicitors issue court proceedings for rent recovery. We handle the entire process from claim to judgment, ensuring you recover what you're owed.

  • County Court claims
  • Default judgment obtainment
  • Writ of control
  • Third party debt orders

Forfeiture Proceedings

Our solicitors advise on forfeiture when tenants systematically default on rent. We guide you through the process of regaining possession while pursuing rent arrears simultaneously.

  • Commercial forfeiture notices
  • Peaceful re-entry proceedings
  • Court possession orders
  • Concurrent debt recovery
