Managing Property

Franklins Business Services team work with landlords to help advise on things such as service charge and ground rent recovery, and the removal of bad tenants.

For Business

Service Charge and Ground Rent Recovery

If you need help with recovering outstanding service charges and ground rents on your investment flats please call us on 01908 660966 or complete our online contact form or go to the Service Charge and Ground Rent Recovery page.

Bad Tenants Need to be Removed

For expert and prompt help please call us on 01604 828270 or complete our online contact form or go to the Step 1.

Buy-to-let landlords need assurance that their property is earning money for the maximum amount of time. A bad tenant who fails to pay the rent or fails to look after the property needs to be removed as soon as possible so the landlord can start earning money again from their investment.

Tenant Eviction Step 1

We will serve a notice demanding the tenant leaves and that all arrears of rent are paid within fourteen days.

Tenant Eviction Step 2

If Step 1 has not done the trick we will start court action immediately after the notice to quit has expired to obtain orders for eviction and payment of arrears.

Tenant Eviction Step 3

If the tenant fails to respond to the court order we will instruct bailiffs on a court order to forcibly remove the tenant if necessary.

Getting Started

Please go to Step 1, the instruction form can be downloaded from the downloads section appearing on the right had side of this screen and emailed or faxed back to us.

Frequently Asked Questions about Managing Property

What questions should I ask a property solicitor?

If a solicitor is handling your property transaction you will want to understand the costs for completing the transaction, details of who will be managing the transaction for you, how you will be kept updated and informed, the timelines for completion and what you should do if something goes wrong.

How long do solicitors enquiries take?

Solicitor enquiries can take anything from one week to several weeks, depending on the enquiries that are needed and the response times from other parties.

How long does it take to purchase a property?

Commercial property transactions can be as complex as residential, if not more complex.

How do solicitors gain pressure?

Solicitors gain pressure by imposing deadlines and potential penalties for failing to comply by certain dates, including the threat to withdraw from the transaction if the deadline is not met.

Do you instruct solicitor before survey?

Yes, you should instruct a solicitor to engage in your transaction before you undertake the surveys. You should instruct a solicitor as soon as you have put in an offer on the property.

What happens if the seller fails to complete on completion date?

If the seller fails to complete on time then the buyer is able to withdraw their offer. It may also be possible to request compensation of any costs incurred.
