If you are a landlord who has secured a possession order from the court but still cannot get your property back, you are not alone. Many landlords feel frustrated at this point—you have done everything by the book, yet your tenant remains in the property.
That is where High Court Enforcement comes in—and that’s where Shergroup steps up.
In this blog, we will walk you through the eviction process after a court order is granted in England and Wales, show you how to enforce your rights faster and more efficiently, and explain how we have helped real landlords through shows like Call the Bailiffs: Time to Pay Up and Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away.
Step 1: Understanding the Court Order
Once a county court grants a possession order, your tenant is legally required to vacate the property by a set date—usually 14 or 28 days (about 4 weeks) after the hearing.
But what happens if they do not?
That is when you need to take enforcement action. There are two main options:
- County Court Bailiffs
- High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs)
Let us break down the difference—and why many landlords choose Shergroup’s High Court Enforcement service.
Step 2: Transferring the Order to the High Court
Speed matters. Waiting weeks (or months) for a County Court Bailiff appointment can mean more lost rent and increased property damage.
With Shergroup, we help you transfer your order to the High Court under Section 42 of the County Courts Act 1984. This is known as applying for a writ of possession, which allows our authorized High Court Enforcement Officers to take action.
We handle:
- The application
- The paperwork
- The coordination
Our clients often tell us, “We wish we’d called Shergroup sooner.”
Step 3: Serving the Notice of Eviction
Once the writ of possession is sealed, we serve a Notice of Eviction on the tenant, giving them at least 7 days’ notice—unless the court grants permission for a shorter period.
Our team ensures this notice is professionally delivered, with all the required documentation, so the process remains lawful, transparent, and fair.
We know that every situation is different. That is why our enforcement team is trained to deal with sensitive situations with respect, professionalism, and clarity.
Step 4: The Eviction Day
On the appointed day, Shergroup’s High Court Enforcement Officers attend the property to enforce the court’s order.
We are featured regularly on shows like Call the Bailiffs: Time to Pay Up and Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away, where you can see our team in action—dealing with difficult scenarios while keeping calm and focused on resolving the situation quickly.
In many cases, tenants leave peacefully when they see that the court order is being enforced by professionals. If they do not, we are authorised to remove them from the premises lawfully.
