    Warrant/ attachment/ other?

    This is not really a Residential Lettings question but...

    LL didn't pay back deposit so I issued a small claim and he has ignored everything.

    He lives in a £1m house, owns two flats and has a good job in a popular magazine.

    I have entered judgment against him and am not sure how to proceed. Do I send in the bailiffs, get the money from his salary or from his back account?

    Can anyone highlight the pros and cons of these processes? Yes, I have scoured the hmcs!!

    Nope, yes and that's what I'm asking! You can get it from there account, salary or from the bailiffs. Which is the most successful?

      Do you now have a CCJ on him?
      You should instruct the court to collect the cash, pay a fee to the court and enjoy!!
      ...and seek a Charging Order on his properties?

        Bailiffs would be the most embarrassing for him, wouldn't it?

          I like the way you think, Peter. But, they are more likely to harrass his nanny.
          I spoke to her more than I spoke to him.

          I like the idea of getting it out of his salary or his bank account becuase those avenues are the most unpleasant for him.

          Charging Order on his properties? I'll have a look..

          Thanks jeffrey and Peter..

            Charging order on his property only means that you get the money if/ when he sells. No judge is going to force the sale of a £1m property for a charge that is relatively small.

              Well he does own two other flats...I like the idea of getting it out of his salary. Very humiliating

                Pardon my ignorance starlettings, but why would I do a land reg search? I know where he lives and the flat I lived in was two doors down.

                • Advice for tenant asked for big rent rise
                  by Renterthedragon
                  I’m a tenant facing a sharp rent increase and in need of advice.

                  I have a good landlord who agreed to a rent reduction last year because of ongoing maintenance issues and lower market values. However, I can only communicate with them through an agency.

                  Approaching the end...

                  I've not found any short-cuts, as each company has their own quirks on dealing with this. It usually takes a couple of calls to a customer services person to provide the information, due to GDPR they wont say anything about the exiting T.

                  Does anyone have a shortcut? Right now we seem to have to hang on interminably long on the phone to provide details of leaver readings, put the account back in landlords name and then to provide new tenants' details when the place is re-let. Anyone know of a shortcut? We used to send out letters but...

                  This may just be one part of it, as ' ash72' states there are a lot less rental properties now (and it will get worse in the future), rents have sky rocketed and a LL can simply pick and choose the very very best tenant. It has become even more important than ever to get the right tenant, this is due...

                  As 'ash72' states you may be angry at the perceived way in which the landlord has treated you but do not mix the two up, If you wish to take on more stress after you have been evicted and may still be looking for a place to live...... which with a CCJ will be all but impossible, go ahead, but i would...

                  I wondered if anyone can tell me if it is possible to counter claim for damage, harassment, poss landlord breach in contract and emotional distress in a section 8 eviction.

                  If you are in flats, with service charges, the buildings insurance for residential Landlords insurance ( the Landlord of the freehold, that insures the building ) The insurance company may well cease immediately the insurance coverage.
