Notice Review (Section 8 / Section 21) – Agent

We sanity-check your notice strategy and paperwork before you serve or issue proceedings. We review form/version, dates & notice length, grounds & particulars (s8), deposit & prescribed documents (s21), service method, and risk & next steps. If anything’s off, we prepare a corrected pack.

FAQs

Can I use Section 21 if the deposit was protected late?

Late or incorrect deposit protection/PI can invalidate s21 until cured (where cure is possible). We flag the issue and set out remedies or alternatives.

Do you liaise with tenants or landlords?

We prepare the documents and guidance for your team to use. If you need direct liaison, mention this when ordering.

Is this England only?

Yes — this service is for England notices (s8/s21). Ask about our Wales/Scotland variants if needed.

Will you draft particulars for Section 8?

Yes — where needed we polish grounds wording and ensure evidence aligns.
