## You have a possession order. Your tenant is still there.

A possession order isn't an eviction. If the tenant doesn't leave by the date in the order, you need a warrant of possession so County Court bailiffs can remove them. We handle the application, the paperwork and the coordination, up to eviction day.

### When you need it

- The date in an outright possession order has passed and the tenant hasn't moved out.
- The tenant has broken the terms of a suspended possession order.
- You want the eviction done lawfully, without risking a harassment or illegal eviction claim.

Never change the locks or remove a tenant yourself, even with a possession order. Only a bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer can carry out the eviction.

## How it works

1. **Warrant requested.** On form N325, or N325A if a suspended order has been breached on rent. If you used Possession Claim Online, it can be requested online. The court fee is £152.
2. **Appointment issued.** The court sends form EX96 with the eviction date, and usually a risk assessment form (EX97A).
3. **Forms returned.** They must be back with the court at least 3 working days before the eviction, or it may be cancelled. We handle this for you.
4. **Tenant notified.** The court gives the tenant notice of the eviction date.
5. **Eviction day.** Meet the bailiff outside the property and don't go in until they say so. Have a locksmith ready to change the locks straight away.

## How long does it take?

Waits for a bailiff appointment vary widely by court, from weeks to several months. Where waits are long, you can ask the court for permission to transfer to the High Court (£126), where an enforcement officer may act sooner. See our [High Court Sheriff service](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/high-court-sheriff).

## What it costs

Our bailiff service is a fixed fee, confirmed in writing before we start, plus the £152 court fee for the warrant.

## FAQs

##### [How much does a warrant of possession cost?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/county-court-bailiff#collapse1-dnd_area-module-6)

The court fee is £152. Our service fee is fixed and confirmed in writing before we start.

##### [How long will I wait for a bailiff?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/county-court-bailiff#collapse2-dnd_area-module-6)

It depends on your local court. Some can offer appointments within weeks, others take several months. We'll tell you what to expect and whether a High Court transfer is worth considering.

##### [Can the tenant stop the eviction?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/county-court-bailiff#collapse3-dnd_area-module-6)

They can apply to suspend the warrant. This usually only succeeds on discretionary grounds, and only if their circumstances have genuinely changed, for example they can now pay the rent and arrears.

##### [Can I change the locks myself once I have the order?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/county-court-bailiff#collapse4-dnd_area-module-6)

No. Only a bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer can carry out the eviction. Doing it yourself risks a criminal offence.

##### [How long is a possession order valid for enforcement?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/county-court-bailiff#collapse5-dnd_area-module-6)

You can apply for a warrant up to 6 years after the order. After that, you need the court's permission.
