Practical eviction support to help you recover your property (England landlords)

Bricking It Group supports self-managing landlords in England with notices, compliance checks, proof of service, and possession workflows — so you avoid the small admin mistakes that cause big delays.

Friendly note: We’re a landlord support service, not a law firm. We help you get your paperwork, evidence and process right, and we’ll recommend specialist legal support when needed.

No-Fault Eviction

Section 21 Notices (where available)

A Section 21 notice has historically allowed landlords to regain possession at the end of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy without needing to give a reason. However, strict requirements must be met for the notice to be valid.

Timeline: ~9 months (typical)
Important: The law is changing. Always check the current rules and whether Section 21 applies to your tenancy.

Requirements for a valid notice (compliance check)

We run a full compliance check before any notice is served. Typical requirements include:

  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
  • Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
  • Gas Safety Certificate (if applicable)
  • Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST)
  • Deposit protection certificate + prescribed information (if a deposit was taken)
  • HMO or Selective Licence (if applicable)
  • Any other documents we advise are needed for your tenancy

Important warning

Failure to comply with any required step can render a Section 21 notice invalid, which can mean delays, re-serving, and additional costs.
We conduct a thorough compliance check before serving any notice.

The Section 21 process

1) Instruction & document review
Once instructed, we review your documents and verify compliance with the standard requirements.

2) Notice preparation
We prepare a valid Section 21 notice using the correct form and dates.

3) Service of notice
We advise on the most reliable service method and help you build your proof-of-service record.

4) Notice period
A minimum notice period applies (commonly 2 months, where Section 21 is available).

5) Accelerated possession claim (if needed)
If the tenant does not vacate, we support you through the accelerated possession route (where applicable).

Grounds-Based Eviction

Section 8 Notices

A Section 8 notice is used when the tenant has breached the terms of the tenancy agreement. Unlike Section 21, you normally need to rely on specific grounds and provide evidence to the court.

Timeline: ~7 months (typical)

Common grounds for possession (examples)

Ground 8
At least 2 months’ rent arrears at notice service and at the hearing (mandatory)

Ground 10
Some rent is in arrears (discretionary)

Ground 11
Persistent delay in paying rent (discretionary)

Ground 12
Breach of tenancy obligation (discretionary)

Ground 14
Anti-social behaviour or nuisance (discretionary)

Ground 17
False statement induced the tenancy (discretionary)

The Section 8 process

1) Instruction & case assessment
Once instructed, we identify the strongest grounds, what evidence you’ll need, and what to avoid doing next.

2) Notice preparation
We prepare the Section 8 notice specifying the relevant grounds and correct wording.

3) Service of notice
Notice periods vary depending on grounds (for example, 2 weeks for certain arrears grounds, longer for others). We advise on service methods and proof.

4) PCOL filing support
We prepare and submit the possession claim online, along with supporting documents.

5) Court hearing
Support with court attendance/representation options (where purchased) to obtain a possession order.
