Which court fees are increasing?
From 18 May 2021, there will be an increase to court fees payable for the issue of an online possession claim through the possession claims online portal.
Previously these claims had an issue fee of £325, as against a possession claim issued at a county court, which was £355.
Both types of claims will now have an issue fee of £355.
How should you issue possession claims?
You should still use the online portal for rent arrears and possession claims. All other types of possession claims have to be issued through the County Court.
