Notice seeking possession & court date?

Question

we sent an NSP 4 weeks ago and this week went to court to get things rolling, does anyone know how long the court takes to decide on a date for a hearing?

Answer 1

The court date is quite quick. Actually enforcing the courts decison on possession. Now that's a much lengthier process.

Answer 2

Varies from court to court and area to area. You just end up in the queue.

Answer 3

if its an assured shorthold tenancy, very quickly.

If its an assured tenancy, then there needs to be a full hearing and this takes longer.

If it's a mortgage case, it depends on whether there needs to be a full-blown hearing, or whether it's a simple administrative case.

It also depends on the basis of the NSP - whether it's arrears, or redevelopment of the site or whatever.

Answer 4

I believe it is fairly quick, but I'm only referring to housing association repossessions, not sure about mortgages.
