A tenant eviction service can cover anything from drafting one notice to running a defended court case. Paying for the wrong level is the commonest mistake landlords make.

Here is what each level includes.

Compare the four services

Read the "replies to tenant defence" row carefully. That is the difference between the two eviction packages.

Which one do you need?

If you are unsure whether the tenant will defend, start with the notice and upgrade later.

What is never included

Court fees are paid to HM Courts & Tribunals Service, not to your solicitor. No eviction service covers them.

Why fixed fees matter here

Possession work has a predictable shape until the tenant defends. Then it does not.

Hourly billing on a defended claim can run well past the cost of a fixed-fee contested package. Agreeing the fee upfront caps that risk.
