Rent is unpaid

Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR)

Recover qualifying unpaid commercial rent while keeping the lease in place. Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR) allows landlords to recover rent arrears without first obtaining a court judgment.

Choose this if: your commercial tenant owes rent and you want to recover the money while continuing the lease.

Lease terms are breached

Forfeiture of Lease

Regain possession of your commercial property and bring the lease to an end where you have a lawful right to forfeit. This may include unpaid rent or other breaches of the lease.

Choose this if: your priority is to regain possession of the property rather than continue the lease and recover the rent through CRAR.

Important: CRAR and forfeiture are separate remedies, and choosing one may affect your ability to use the other for the same rent arrears. If you are unsure which route is right for you, speak to our team before instructing. Call 0300 302 1010

Commercial Tenant Not Paying Rent or Breaching Their Lease?

If your commercial tenant has stopped paying rent or breached the terms of their lease, the right enforcement route depends on what you want to achieve.

CRAR is designed to recover qualifying commercial rent arrears while the lease continues. Forfeiture is used where a landlord has the legal right to bring the lease to an end and regain possession of the commercial premises.

Choosing the right route at the outset is important, as taking enforcement action can affect the remedies available to you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot rate Absolute Enforcement Limited highly enough — I wish I could give them 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Polite, professional and, most importantly, they actually recovered all of my money from a very difficult individual when another leading debt collection agency and the court-appointed collector both failed.

From start to finish, they were fantastic. If you need help recovering money, look no further! I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an issue with someone claiming to provide a work visa for a friend, it was not materialising and upfront payment was not refunded. It was like a scam and i had to go through county court to get the money back as the person was not willing to repay or respond. I had applied for claim and county court provided judgement in favour of my claim and the claimant was still not repaying. The county court advised to go through one of the approved collection agency to get the money back. I had found Absolute Enforcement from the list and contacted them about my case, they advised to make an application with them to recover the money with further court order from higher court that they did for me with the county court judgement. It took about an year to go through the process and recover the money. Finally it was recovered and Absolute Enforcement provided updates on the process and progress and recovered the money as expected.

So highly recommend Absolute Enforcement service for similar money claims that requires collection agency.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Company was very professional and although it was a long process all was sorted. The agents that went on the collection were very professional and fair and unbiased. Office staff kept me up to date and made frequent calls to ensure I knew what was happening during the process.
