Here at Alpha 1 Legal Services our certificated bailiffs specialise in recovering outstanding commercial rent arrears. We have regional centres in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Bristol, Nottingham, Liverpool, Derby, Sheffield, Leeds and Newcastle, effectively covering the whole of England and Wales.

If you have accounts with your tenants that are in arrears, and that are proving difficult to recover, then contact us here at Alpha 1 Legal Services and we will instruct a bailiff or bailiffs to attend within 24 hours of instruction, if not the same day! our success rate is over 97%!!

All this is completed without any cost to you the landlord, as all our fees are charged to the tenant who is in arrears, except in the case of lease forfeiture, which incurs a charge to landlords for a bailiff or bailiffs to attend.

Please click on the relevant link below, and fax or email the instruction back to us.

The following must be adhered to: -

1/ There must be an existing tenancy agreement, or a previous one in place that has expired.

2/ The rent must be one day or more overdue.

3/ The landlord must not have issued any form of proceedings regarding the overdue Rent.

4/ Distress can only be executed at the demised premises (the place the rent is owed for) and not the tenants residential premises. Only goods that are not protected by Law can be seized by the bailiff or bailiffs attending the demised premises.

Lease Foreiture

If matters have deteriorated to a point that you wish to end the lease with your tenant then you can instruct us to forfeit the lease. In most commercial leases, the landlord has the right to terminate the agreement without going to Court. In this case the rent must have been in arrears for a certain amount of time as detailed in the lease. We can take possession of your property anywhere in the UK for a single fixed fee (plus locksmith costs, as applicable).

There are certain specific rules regarding the methods of possession. Please telephone for details and prices, then simply download the possession warrant, complete it and fax/email it back to our office. A bailiff will normally visit and take possession of your property within 24 hours (1-2 working days maximum).

Please note:

The laws relating to the methods described above allow us to either recover rent arrears through landlords distraint or take possession of your property through lease forfeiture. We are however unable to apply both tactics together. But remember that recovering your rent arrears costs you nothing, on the other hand, instructing us to forfeit the lease will incur a fee.
