step 2 - COURT ISSUES YOUR POSSESSION
ORDER
For accelerated possession claims, a hearing is not usually required and a judge can deal with the claim on paper. For standard possession claims, including rent arrears or other grounds, the Court will normally list a hearing before deciding whether to grant a possession order.
step 3 - EVICT TENANT USING BAILIFF OR HIGH COURT ENFORCEMENT
If your tenant remains after the possession order is granted, we move straight to enforcement by instructing County Court Bailiffs or High Court Enforcement Officers, managing all paperwork on your behalf.

The Standard & Accelerated Possession Procedure – How It Works
Once your notice has expired and your tenant has not vacated the property, you may be able to apply to the Court for possession. Accelerated possession claims are commonly dealt with on the paperwork alone without a hearing, whereas standard possession claims, including rent arrears or other grounds, will usually require a court hearing before a judge.
Our team prepares and manages the process from start to finish to help you regain possession of your property as quickly as possible.

Remove Your Tenant - Instruct Bailiffs Or High Court Enforcement Now
If your tenant still does not leave after a possession order is granted, the next step is enforcement. We apply for a warrant of possession so your tenant can be lawfully removed by a County Court Bailiff or, where appropriate, a High Court Enforcement Officer – which can significantly speed up the process.
Delaying enforcement only increases your losses. If a warrant of possession has not yet been applied for, now is the time to act.
Every day of delay allows your tenant to remain in your property longer, costing you more time, money, and peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions?
What Is The Difference Between A Standard And Accelerated Possession Claim?
A possession claim is a Court process used by landlords to regain possession of their property after a notice has expired. We handle both Standard Possession Claims and Accelerated Possession Claims depending on the circumstances of the case.
Accelerated possession claims are commonly used where no rent arrears or other grounds are being claimed and are often decided on the paperwork alone without a hearing. Standard possession claims are generally used for rent arrears matters and will usually involve a court hearing before a judge decides whether to grant possession.
How long does the possession process take?
Timescales for both Standard Possession Claims and Accelerated Possession Claims vary depending on the Court’s workload and hearing availability. Accelerated possession claims are often dealt with more quickly as a hearing is not usually required, whereas standard possession claims will normally require a court hearing which can increase waiting times.
Our team prepares and submits your claim promptly to avoid unnecessary delay at the outset and keep your case progressing as efficiently as possible.
Do I need to attend court for a possession order?
For Accelerated Possession Claims, a court hearing is not usually required and the judge will often decide the case based on the paperwork submitted. However, a hearing may still be listed if the tenant files a defence or the Court requires further information.
For Standard Possession Claims, including rent arrears matters, a court hearing will normally be required before a judge decides whether to grant a possession order. If a hearing is listed, we will guide you through the next steps and discuss representation options where required.
Can I use the accelerated possession procedure if my tenant has rent arrears?
The accelerated possession procedure is a possession-only process and cannot be used to recover unpaid rent. If recovering arrears is a priority alongside regaining possession, a Section 8 notice and standard possession proceedings may be more appropriate. Fast Track Evictions will advise you on the right route for your situation before any action is taken.
What happens if my tenant does not leave after the possession order?
If your tenant does not vacate by the date set out in the possession order, you can apply for a warrant of possession. This authorises a County Court Bailiff to attend the property and remove the tenant. Where speed is a priority, it may be possible to transfer enforcement to the High Court, where High Court Enforcement Officers can often act more quickly. Fast Track Evictions manages the enforcement stage on your behalf if required.
How much does a possession order cost?
We offer fixed fee pricing for both Standard Possession Claims and Accelerated Possession Claims, so you know the costs involved before any work begins. Costs can vary depending on the type of claim, whether a hearing is required.
Our team can provide a clear breakdown of the fees relevant to your situation with no hidden charges.
