Commercial Lease Forfeiture
Where a commercial tenant is behind with their rent and there is a forfeiture clause in the commercial lease, our bailiffs can forfeit the lease for you. This is a quick process to take back possession of your commercial property.
Are you a commercial landlord with tenants who are behind with their rent?
At CEA Limited, we have a nationwide network of certificated enforcement agents (bailiffs) who can conduct a forfeiture of commercial lease. This enables you to reclaim your commercial property, without the need to pay large solicitors fees or gain a court order.
There is no requirement to give notice to the tenant of an impending commercial forfeiture of lease. They can often be carried out the next working day.

How to Forfeit a Commercial Lease
When you instruct our bailiffs to forfeit a lease, there is no need to worry about the process. They will undertake all of the work and carry out the commercial lease forfeiture legally and safely.
- Ensure the tenant is in sufficient arrears to use the forfeiture process
- Check there is a forfeiture clause in the lease
- Arrange the most suitable time to carry out the forfeit (typically outside of opening hours)
- Use the services of a professional locksmith to gain peaceful entry and change the locks
- Display the relevant notices to prevent the tenant from gaining access
- Once the locks are changed and the notices displayed, the lease is forfeited.
Can the Tenant Remove their Goods?
The notice detailing the Torts Interference with Goods Act will be posted at the forfeited property. This covers personal property and belongings that are at the premises.
In order to retrieve their items, the tenant must be supervised at the property. At Civil Enforcement Agents Ltd, we offer a complete service to our commercial clients and deal with all enquiries with the former tenant ourselves. We can allow them to access the property (at their cost) to remove personal items. This prevents them from re-occupying the property.
