Customer Questions & Answers

What is Commercial Lease Forfeiture?
Commercial lease forfeiture is a legal process that allows landlords to terminate a lease agreement when a tenant breaches terms, typically due to non-payment of rent. This process must follow strict legal procedures to be valid.

How does CRAR differ from the old distress for rent procedures?
CRAR (Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery) replaced the common law remedy of distress for rent in 2014. CRAR requires formal notice periods, only applies to commercial premises, and can only be used for basic rent arrears (not service charges or insurance).

How much notice must be given before enforcement action?
The law requires a minimum 7-day notice period between serving the enforcement notice and taking control of goods. This gives tenants an opportunity to settle the debt before further action.

Can CRAR be used for any type of commercial property?
CRAR can only be used for premises that are purely commercial. Mixed-use properties (part commercial, part residential) typically cannot be subject to CRAR procedures.

What goods can be seized under CRAR?
Enforcement agents can take control of goods that belong to the tenant. Certain items are exempt, including items essential to the tenant’s personal use or needed for their business (up to a value of £1,350), and goods belonging to third parties.

How are your fees structured?
Our fee structure follows the regulations set by the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations. Specific fees apply at different stages: compliance stage, enforcement stage, and sale stage. We provide a transparent breakdown of all potential costs before beginning work.

How long does the Commercial Lease Forfeiture process take?
The timeline varies depending on tenant response and case complexity. The minimum process involves the 7-day notice period, followed by enforcement visits. The complete process, including potential sale of goods, typically takes 4-12 weeks.

Can tenants stop the process once it’s started?
Yes, tenants can halt the process at any point by paying the arrears in full, including any enforcement fees incurred to that point. We also facilitate payment arrangements where appropriate.

Do you provide regular updates during the process?
Yes, we offer an online case tracking system that provides real-time updates on the status of your case, including notice delivery, site visits, and payment collections.

What documentation do I need to provide to start the process?
You’ll need to provide proof of the lease agreement, a clear statement of the rent arrears with dates and amounts, and confirmation that the property is wholly commercial. Our team will guide you through the specific requirements.
