Section 21 "no fault" notices were abolished in England on 1 May 2026, so every eviction now starts here. Fixed fee: £199.99. 2. **Court claim.** If the tenant hasn't left when the notice expires, our panel solicitors issue a possession claim. For a property in Newcastle, that is normally the Civil and Family Courts and Tribunals Centre at Barras Bridge. The Quayside court building no longer hears housing cases. Fixed fee: £1,450, including the £415 court fee. 3. **The hearing.** The tenant has 14 days to respond. The court normally lists a hearing 4 to 8 weeks after the claim is issued, although busy courts can take longer. We arrange representation through our panel solicitors. 4. **Possession order.** On a mandatory ground, such as 3 months' rent arrears, the court must make an order. The tenant usually gets 14 days to leave, or up to 6 weeks for exceptional hardship. We can add a claim for the unpaid rent. 5. **Enforcement.** If the tenant still won't go, we apply for a warrant of possession for County Court bailiffs (£551.95, including the £152 warrant fee), or transfer the case to High Court enforcement officers (£1,507.95), which is often faster. ## Property licensing in Newcastle Newcastle runs two kinds of licensing: - **Additional HMO licensing across the whole city**, from 5 April 2025 to 5 April 2030, for shared houses with three or more people from two or more households. - **Selective licensing in named areas**: Cowgate, the West End, Lemington, parts of Benwell, Columbia Grange and Denton Court until 5 April 2030, plus Greater High Cross and Byker from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2031. A selective licence costs £1,000. The schemes cover named streets, so check the street lists on the [council's selective licensing page](https://new.newcastle.gov.uk/property-licensing-schemes-newcastle/selective-licensing). **New national register:** landlords in the North East can register on the government's new [Register your rental property service](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-your-rental-property-service-guidance-for-landlords) from 15 June 2027 to 14 September 2027. It costs £65 per property per year. If your property needs a licence and doesn't have one, sort that out before you serve notice. Letting an unlicensed property that needs a licence is a criminal offence. Since 1 May 2026, councils can impose civil penalties of up to £40,000, and tenants can apply for a rent repayment order of up to 24 months' rent. ## How long does it take? It depends on the reason for possession and how busy the court is. As a guide: - **Notice period:** 4 weeks for rent arrears. 4 months if you're selling or moving back in, and that notice can't end before the tenancy is 12 months old. Proceedings for anti-social behaviour can start as soon as the notice is served. - **Court:** a hearing is usually listed 4 to 8 weeks after the claim is issued. - **After the order:** usually 14 days for the tenant to leave, then bailiffs if needed. Across England and Wales, the median time from a landlord's claim to repossession by bailiffs was 27.1 weeks in April to June 2026, according to [Ministry of Justice figures](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mortgage-and-landlord-possession-statistics-april-to-june-2026/mortgage-and-landlord-possession-statistics-april-to-june-2026). Many cases end sooner, when the tenant leaves after the notice or the order. ## Why Newcastle landlords use Helpland - **One of only two NRLA-recommended** eviction suppliers. - **Rated 4.8/5 on Google.** - **Over 3,200 evictions completed,** with a 92% success rate. - **Fixed fees,** including VAT and court fees, agreed before we start. - **One team from notice to keys,** so you're not passed between firms. ### Useful guides - [Grounds for possession under Section 8](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/section-8/grounds-for-possession) - [No More Section 21: how to evict tenants under the 2026 rules](https://helpland.co.uk/the-landlords-ledger/no-more-section-21-how-to-evict-tenants-under-the-2026-rules) - [How long does it take to evict a tenant?](https://helpland.co.uk/the-landlords-ledger/how-long-does-it-take-to-evict-a-tenant) - [County Court bailiff or High Court enforcement officer?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/county-court-bailiff/county-court-bailiff-and-high-court-enforcement-officer) ### Other areas we cover [London](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/london) · [Birmingham](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/birmingham) · [Manchester](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/manchester) · [Leeds](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/leeds) · [Liverpool](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/liverpool) · [Bristol](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/bristol) · [Sheffield](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/sheffield) · [Nottingham](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/nottingham) · [Leicester](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/leicester) · [Coventry](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/coventry) · [Cardiff](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/cardiff) · [All areas](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/areas-we-cover) ## Need your Newcastle property back?

Elsewhere on Tyneside, check your court by postcode on GOV.UK. ##### [How much does it cost to evict a tenant in Newcastle?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/newcastle#collapse2-dnd_area-module-6) Our prices are fixed and include VAT and court fees. A Section 8 notice is £199.99. If the tenant doesn't leave, court proceedings are £1,450, including the £415 court fee. If you then need bailiffs, County Court enforcement is £551.95, including the £152 warrant fee. Most landlords never need every stage. ##### [How long does an eviction take in Newcastle?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/newcastle#collapse3-dnd_area-module-6) Allow for the notice period (4 weeks for rent arrears, 4 months to sell or move in), then 4 to 8 weeks to a hearing, then usually 14 days for the tenant to leave. If bailiffs are needed, add their waiting time. Nationally, the median from claim to repossession was 27.1 weeks in April to June 2026. ##### [Do I need a licence to rent out my property in Newcastle?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/newcastle#collapse4-dnd_area-module-6) Every shared house with three or more people from two or more households needs a licence. Ordinary lets need a selective licence in named areas including Cowgate, the West End, Lemington, Byker and Greater High Cross. Check the council's street lists. ##### [Can I still use a Section 21 notice?](https://helpland.co.uk/tenant-eviction/newcastle#collapse5-dnd_area-module-6) No. Section 21 was abolished in England on 1 May 2026. Notices served before then had to be used by 31 July 2026 at the latest. Every new eviction now needs a Section 8 notice and a valid ground for possession. ## Customer Testimonial At Helpland, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service and ensuring your peace of mind.
