What Is an Eviction?
An eviction is the lawful process used by a landlord to regain possession of a property when a tenant is no longer entitled to remain there. This may happen due to unpaid rent, a breach of the tenancy agreement, or when a tenancy has ended and the tenant refuses to leave.
In England, landlords must follow a legal process. You cannot change the locks, remove belongings, or restrict access without the correct court authority. Doing so is considered an unlawful eviction and can result in serious legal consequences.
The Eviction Process Explained
A standard eviction typically follows these steps:
Notice is served on the tenant, such as a Section 8 or Section 21 notice
If the tenant does not leave, the landlord applies to the court for a possession order
Once granted, a Warrant of Possession is issued
County Court bailiffs or enforcement agents attend the property on a scheduled date to carry out the eviction
Only once this process has been completed can possession legally be returned to the landlord.

Why a Locksmith Is Needed on Eviction Day
On the day of eviction, a locksmith plays a key role. Tenants may refuse to open the door, change locks, or secure the property in a way that prevents access. Without a professional locksmith present, bailiffs may be unable to complete the eviction.
Our role is to work alongside bailiffs and enforcement officers to ensure lawful entry is gained smoothly and without unnecessary damage.
