Eviction costs can add up beyond lost rent. Budgeting realistically is important. Costs vary by nation and complexity.

Potential Costs:

• Notice Generation: Service fees (e.g., Legalmaster) or solicitor drafting fees. (Legalmaster is a fixed, low cost).
• Court/Tribunal Application Fee:
  • Eng/Wal: Around £355 (check GOV.UK).
  • Scotland: Check Tribunal website (often lower/waived).
• Legal Fees (If Using Solicitors): Can range from hundreds to thousands of pounds, especially if the case is complex or defended.
• Bailiff/Sheriff Officer Fees:
  • Eng/Wal: Warrant fee approx. £130-£140 (check GOV.UK).
  • Scotland: Sheriff Officer fees vary – get quotes.
• Other Potential Costs: Locksmith fees after eviction, costs to repair damage or clear belongings left behind, potential cleaning costs.

Minimising Costs: Ensure compliance from the start. Use cost-effective notice generation like Legalmaster. Aim for the accelerated procedure (Eng/Wal) if possible. While solicitor fees add up, good legal advice can prevent costlier mistakes in complex cases.

(Note: All fees are estimates as of April 2025 and subject to change. Always check official sources).
