Rent Recovery
Legal 4 Landlords have dedicated in-house licensed and certified bailiffs; we are specialists in recovering unpaid rents and dealing with debtors. Our services are tailored from over 30 years experience - when dealing with a debtor the key is to act swiftly.
Legal 4 Landlords have a streamlined in-house system meaning we act quickly in recovering the debt. The Legal 4 Landlords' debt recovery team will look at your situation and give you advice on the best route to recover the debt. Our rent recovery from bailiff service means that you are confronting the debtor and showing them that you are serious about collecting the debt.
Legal 4 Landlords' bailiffs will visit the debtor at home or possibly at a parent's address and enquire about the money owed. If the debtor has moved back home or is working they will generally co-operate to avoid any embarrassment.
The Legal 4 Landlords' bailiff will write to the debtor to explain the severity of the situation and give the debtor seven days to make payment before they are visited. Often the simple letter from the bailiff highlighting the visit is enough to have them pay or at minimum agree a suitable payment date.
