Writ of Possession.
When tenants don't cooperate with a Possession Order, the next eviction step is to obtain a writ of possession.
​
We understand the frustrating situation: lost income or breaches of tenancy, weeks spent going to court, and still the tenant hasn't left. Going to court once again is the last thing you want to do – but it's the quickest route to retaking control of your property.
​
At Strikes Property Services Group, we obtain writs of possession fast through our in-house High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO).
​

-
Prepare paperwork
-
Transfer a Possession Order to the High Court

Strikes Writ of Possession Process.
1. Review Your Possession Order
We start by reviewing your Possession Order to confirm it’s legally compliant and suitable to be transferred to the High Court. This includes checking the wording, the parties named, and whether the order can be “transferred up” for High Court enforcement. If you haven’t obtained a Possession Order yet, we can also support you in securing one before moving to the next stage.
​
2. Prepare the High Court Application
Once we’ve confirmed the order can progress, we prepare the required High Court paperwork and handle the process of transferring the Possession Order to the High Court. We’ll also consult you on the nearest or quickest High Court to apply to, depending on your circumstances and location.
​
3. Obtain the Writ of Possession
After submission, we chase the court to push for the quickest possible turnaround. Once issued, the writ provides the legal authority needed to take enforcement action.
​
4. Carry Out the Eviction
If the property is residential, we’ll serve the required Notice of Eviction before enforcement takes place. (This step isn’t usually applicable for commercial property or certain squatter eviction scenarios.) Then, our in-house Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO), supported by Enforcement Agents where needed, carries out the eviction to regain possession of your property.
