Rise in possession court fees

New court fees will come into place on the 22nd April. Landlords will see a sharp increase in fees on both Section 8 Notice possession and Section 21 Notice possession.

Section 8 (PCOL) claims and accelerated Section 21 claims will rise to £280.

The online possession service will also see a sharp rise in charges, with an application for possession used after the service of a Section 8 Notice, increasing from £100 to £250.

Landlords planning on submitting for a possession order have two weeks left of the current cheaper rates .
