1st Class Bailiffs Articles

At National enforcement we often get very unusual jobs last month we were asked by a client to evict travellers from land only to find the eviction was on horses.

In this country, the scarcity of land is fast becoming a large problem for people. Many years ago, before the land was so densely populated, it was easier for travellers to pitch their camps wherever they so wished. And people travelling to summer festivals sometimes think they can camp anywhere they please. For local landowners who own stretches of open land, the problem of trespassers is becoming more and more serious, especially when trespassers move onto their land and refuse to leave.

But this problem does not just affect those who own agricultural and open land, but also includes those who own and operate on commercial land such as businesses on trading estates. In such cases, this can have a detrimental effect on the business as incidents of crime, disorder and vandalism are often commonplace once encampments occur.

So, the question arises, what can be done in such situations to remove these trespassers from your land?

Well, there may be a risk to personal safety when attempting to remove the trespassers yourself. Also, this can count against the landowner and their legal standing in such situations.

It is actually more effective to enlist the help of bailiff services who can take action on the landowner’s behalf and obtain an order for possession of the land. The process can be quickly implemented by the professionals and proceedings can be issued quickly. The bailiff services can also gather information and do research on the landowner’s behalf to help strengthen the case against the trespasser(s).
