Property Eviction Services
Unauthorised occupants can prevent access to your property, delay redevelopment, result in financial loss and create unnecessary legal complications. Regaining possession requires the correct legal procedures to be followed, with every stage managed professionally and in accordance with current legislation.
Marpol Security provides professional Property Eviction Services across the UK, helping clients regain possession of residential and commercial properties lawfully, efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Interim Possession Orders (IPO)
An Interim Possession Order (IPO) is one of the most effective legal remedies available for recovering possession of a property occupied by squatters.
Under the Civil Procedure Rules, an IPO requires unauthorised occupants to leave the property within 24 hours of the order being served. Failure to comply is a criminal offence, allowing the police to take appropriate enforcement action where necessary.
Marpol Security works alongside solicitors and enforcement professionals to support the IPO process, serving documentation correctly and assisting with enforcement where required.
Professional Property Eviction Services
Every eviction is different, and the most appropriate legal route depends on the circumstances of the occupation. Our experienced enforcement team works alongside legal representatives to ensure the correct procedures are followed, providing a professional service throughout the eviction process.
Our Property Eviction Services can assist with:
Squatters
Trespassers
Former tenants refusing to vacate
Unauthorised occupants
Residential properties
Commercial properties
Every case is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate legal course of action.
The Interim Possession Order Process
To ensure full legal compliance, the Interim Possession Order process follows a defined sequence:
- A solicitor submits an Interim Possession Order application to the court.
- The court schedules an interim hearing.
- Following the hearing, our Enforcement Agent serves the Claim Form, Application Notice and prescribed Defendant Response Form.
- Once the Interim Possession Order has been granted, a final hearing is arranged.
- Our Enforcement Agent serves the sealed Interim Possession Order and supporting documentation within the required legal timescales.
Refusing to comply with an Interim Possession Order or obstructing the process may constitute a criminal offence under Section 10 of the Criminal Law Act 1977.
Experienced Enforcement Professionals
Our Enforcement Agents are highly experienced in serving legal notices and supporting property evictions throughout the UK. Every notice is served correctly, with the appropriate documentation displayed and, where possible, witnessed to help maintain legal compliance and reduce unnecessary delays.
Our teams are trained to manage sensitive situations professionally, communicating calmly while ensuring legal procedures are followed at every stage.
Supporting Landlords & Property Professionals
Our Property Eviction Services support a wide range of organisations and individuals responsible for managing residential and commercial properties, including:
Private landlords
Commercial landlords
Letting agents
Property management companies
Housing associations
Asset managers
Property developers
Local authorities
Every instruction is managed professionally, ensuring the most appropriate legal process is followed for your circumstances.
Securing Your Property After Possession Has Been Regained
Recovering possession is only one part of protecting your property. Once occupants have been removed, securing the premises helps reduce the risk of further unauthorised access and protects the property while it is vacant or awaiting reoccupation.
Marpol Security can provide a range of complementary services, including:
Locking & Unlocking
Keyholding
Mobile Patrols
CCTV Monitoring & Response
Temporary Alarm Systems
Vacant Property Inspections
Our team can recommend the most appropriate security measures based on the condition of the property and the level of ongoing risk.
