Difficult tenancies happen. We help landlords across Romford, Dagenham, Hornchurch and the wider East London area handle rent arrears and possession matters calmly, professionally and within the law.
East Valley Properties is a managing agent, not a law firm. Where formal possession proceedings are required, we work alongside qualified housing solicitors and coordinate the process on your behalf.
Most arrears cases never need to reach court. Early, structured contact with the tenant resolves the majority of situations. We follow a clear, documented process so that, if matters do escalate, the landlord has a strong evidential record.
Court action is slow, expensive and stressful for everyone. Where the tenant is willing to engage, we focus on practical solutions: a managed payment plan, a mutual surrender of the tenancy, or a voluntary move-out. This often resolves matters within weeks rather than the many months a court timeline can take.
Where formal possession is needed, we coordinate the process end to end. This includes ensuring all prescribed information has been served correctly, managing notices and supporting your solicitor with the documentation they need.
The Renters' Rights Act 2026 is changing how possession works in England. See our landlord guide for what to expect.
Whether you have a single buy-to-let or a small portfolio, we handle the situation from first missed payment through to either a sustainable resolution or a re-let property. You stay informed at every stage with clear, written updates.
