At Zavri Law, our experienced property solicitors guide you through the entire legal process, helping you regain possession of your property lawfully, efficiently, and with minimal stress.
Serving the correct legal notice is the foundation of a successful possession claim. Our solicitors will review your situation carefully and advise on the most appropriate notice to serve.

Where a Section 21 notice has been correctly served, we can assist with applying for an accelerated possession order.
• No court hearing required
• Faster than standard possession proceedings
• Suitable where no rent arrears are being claimed
