Domestic Repossession for Enforcement Agency, Slough
The most difficult aspect of being a locksmith is domestic repossessions but I feel that it is important that these jobs are undertaken with the utmost professionalism. In this case I was booked to attend by the Enforcement Agency who in turn had been appointed by the High Court. The Warrant of Possession was to be served at a set time. I was advised by the Enforcement Agency that the premises were a 2nd floor flat – meaning that realistically the front door was my only access point.
As normal for these job I arrive early and was able to see the type of door on the ground floor which meant I could take the right gear up to the 2nd floor.
Once the Enforcement Agent arrived we went upstairs together to the property. No-one was home – Obviously its easier for the Agent if the tenant is present as keys can simply be handed over but it is completely understandable that in most cases the tenant is not present. The process involves the tenant being notified of the intention to serve the Warrant of possession so they can make arrangements. I was able to open the front door quickly with no damage and proceeded to change the locks. I was then asked to change the lock to the Balcony door just in case someone climbed up that way. Keys were handed to the Enforcement Agent to pass onto the landlord
The whole job was done very quickly and smoothly with no upset – the best way.
