At Walker & Dodds we understand that regular and consistent rent payments are critical to the success of your commercial property portfolio and cash flow. We also understand that any future relationship between landlord and tenant must be protected and ensure that intervention by an unprofessional third party’s behavior does not jeopardize this in any way.

We recognize that our clients depend on our speed and rate of recovery. For this reason, we make a first visit within 24 hours of instruction. Once payment has cleared we ensure immediate payment. If instructed before 10:00am we will endeavour to visit the premises on the same day.

Eliminating lengthy court applications and litigation, our fully experienced certificated bailiffs are empowered to act upon your written instructions under the Distress for Rent Rules 1988 (as amended). Simply instruct us online or print and complete the forms of authorization fax back to us and we'll do the rest.

There is no commission charge or handling fee to the property owner, landlord, lawyer, or agent in the event of distress. The tenant pays our costs. We maintain and follow a strict code of conduct and practice, by applying statutory fees to the tenant in accordance with Distress for Rent Rules 1988 (as amended) maintaining your integrity and our professionalism.

Where forfeiture is proposed most commercial leases give the landlord the right to terminate a tenant’s lease without leave of the court if the rent is in arrears and over the period specified in the lease. Forfeiture is achieved by peaceable entry to the demised premises, changing the locks and leaving notices of termination in prominent positions.
Again, you can simply instruct us on line or print and complete the forms of authorization and fax back to us.
One of our certificated bailiffs will attend the property and carry out the instruction in accordance with the law.
