Landlord Criticises Court Over Delayed Possession Order in Nottingham

A Nottingham landlord has criticised the court system after experiencing a significant delay in receiving a possession order. The landlord, Mick Roberts, reported that the possession process took six months after he instructed his solicitor in March.

According to the report, the tenant was ordered to leave the property by 21 August. However, the possession order itself arrived two weeks after this date. Roberts described the court system as “a fallacy” in response to the delay.

This case highlights ongoing issues with the speed of possession proceedings, which may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks managing similar situations. Delays in court processes can impact property management timelines and the ability to regain possession of rental properties.
