Step 3.
You serve notice of eviction

Where you need to evict your tenant, your policy may require you to serve notice on them before we can help. If you would like advice about how to do this, please call our legal advice team on the number listed in your policy documentation; please review the tenant problems checklist before you call.

Step 4.
We assess your claim

Once your claim has been submitted, we will assess it against your specific policy details to make sure you’re covered. If not, we’ll let you know as soon as possible, but if you are then we’ll send details of your claim to a lawyer to start working on your case.

A lawyer gets to work

Your lawyer will undertake an initial assessment of the likelihood of your legal case being successful. This review, referred to as a ‘reasonable prospects assessment’ must conclude that your case has a greater chance of being successful than not for it to proceed.

Work continues on your case

Assuming your case continues to enjoy reasonable prospects of success, and all other requirements of your policy are met, a lawyer will work with you from start to finish. They’ll keep you updated throughout and ask for any relevant supporting information that may be required for your case.
