Section 21 Notice - Accelerated Procedure

If you have served a section 21/6A notice before the 1st May 2026, we may still be able to help you take the next step in the possession process. In some cases, this means issuing a claim for possession under the accelerated possession procedure, which is the court process landlords have traditionally used where a valid s21 notice has already been served.

We can only assist with these claims where strict timing requirements have been met.

IMPORTANT - We can only accept instructions and act on your behalf where: i) there are at least 6 weeks remaining before your s21 notice expires (a notice expires 6 months after it is served, not at the end of the 2 month notice period); and ii) the 2 month notice period within your s21 notice ends on or before 30 June 2026.

Not sure? Check the date that the notice was served on your tenant, not the date after which your tenant was asked to leave.

Booking this service is subject to a full internal review of your documents. By booking the service we have not confirmed that your s21/6A notice is valid, that your case qualifies for the Accelerated Procedure, or that there is enough time to issue a claim under the Accelerated Procedure or serve a new s21/6A notice if needed.

If after review, we find that the s21/6A notice is defective, the matter is unsuitable for the Accelerated Procedure or there is insufficient time to proceed, we may be unable to act. Because section 21/6A notices are abolished on 1 May 2026, booking this service now (shortly before that date) is not a guarantee that we will be able to review your documents in time for any defect in the notice to be corrected by service of a new section 21/6A notice. If your current notice is defective, we may be unable to act upon your instruction and you may lose the ability to proceed under s21 for good.

Please be aware that we will no longer be offering this service after 1 July 2026.
