How we prevented an eviction in record time
Background
Challenges
- The limited time available to meet the tight eviction deadline.
- Co-ordinating with and persuading multiple parties to act quickly.
- Halting the eviction with the court.
The approach
Tivoli Legal’s response to this case was marked by compassionate client care, urgency, and collaboration.
Our expert team acted quickly to resolve conveyancing issues, ensuring the equity release was completed on time to prevent the client’s home from being repossessed.
As the central hub of communication, we worked seamlessly with key stakeholders to fast-track the process and ensure every party prioritised the case.
Beyond the legal work, we supported the client through court applications and provided reassurance during an incredibly stressful time, ultimately helping him remain in his home of 25 years.
Our focus: Helping the client to avoid eviction by resolving legal conveyancing issues and fast-tracking the case to completion under an extremely tight deadline.
What we did
- Urgent action: Took on the case with less than two weeks’ notice before eviction.
- Tracked down old charges: Located and obtained redemption statements for three separate charges, including one dating back to 2006.
- Collaboratively communicated: Coordinated with multiple parties to expedite the process.
- Court application support: Guided the client and his Financial Adviser through the necessary court applications to halt the eviction.
- Rapid problem-solving: Persuaded all parties involved to prioritise the case and act quickly to meet the tight eviction deadline.
- Fast-tracked case: We got the legal work completed in just 4 days.

The moment that mattered
The client, overwhelmed by the speed and efficiency of the process, thanked us repeatedly, saying how helpful and fast we had been. Knowing we helped a vulnerable individual stay in the home he had lived in for 25 years was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
His response:
“It doesn’t matter which person I’ve spoken with throughout the process; everyone at Tivoli has been fantastic. Thank you so very much for all your help and hard work.”
