Tune in to our Chief Shergroupie, Claire Sandbrook talking about the forfeiture of commercial property in the UK and how Shergroup can help the landlords in getting back possession. Often landlords reach out to Shergroup when their tenant has breached one or more clauses of the lease. To get back possession and terminate the commercial tenant lawfully we are able to support landlords by taking the “forfeiture” route. 

Of course, over the period of the pandemic landlords in the UK have been restricted in what they can do to enforce the forfeiture clause in their commercial tenancies. 

 It has been a tough time for the landlords, but we see an end in sight to the moratorium so that landlords are free to deal with their property portfolios free of restrictions. 

As you may know if there is a breach of a commercial lease term, and the lease expressly contains a right to forfeiture clause, then you can lean on that to remove the tenant under the forfeiture provisions. 

However, currently this remedy is only available for breaches other than the non-payment of rent, such as subletting without permission, assigning without permission. 

If this is a route you can take, then we offer a one stop shop forfeiture service at a fixed price. On receiving your instructions, we instruct one of our enforcement agents to use the non-high court route to re-take possession. 

With enforcement agents working in all 105 postcodes of England and Wales, we are able to remove your tenants and their employees at the time of attendance. Our national panel of enforcement agents have been hand-picked by Claire Sandbrook herself over the last 20 years and you can see Shergroup's team in the TV Show, "Call The Bailiffs | Time to Pay Up".

 All you need to do is to complete the formality of getting possession back by changing the locks and then being able to remarket the property. 

Shergroup provides as much support as you need through the process. We will agree the date that you need to fit in with your plans. 

And if you need your Section 146 notice served then we can arrange for this to be done, again by one of our enforcement agents. This is a good way for us to assess what is happening at your property and whether we are going to meet any resistance when it comes to forfeiting the lease. 

Please note our forfeiture service is strictly for commercial properties, as residential tenants are protected from eviction under Section 3 of the Protection From Eviction Act 1977.

And we are always here to discuss what you want to do before you send your papers across.

Call us on 020 3588 4240 and one of our friendly Business Solutions Advisors will guide you through our process.

Marketing Solutions 

Welcome to the Shergroupie Podcast. Today, Claire Sandbrook, our Chief Shergroupie is going to talk about 'Building up Your Email List' and how it can help in growing your business. So, sit tight and listen to what Claire has to share from her experience of building an email list and how has it benefitted Shergroup.

How many of you know the name of all your customers stored in your database or Rolodex? Do you find any gaps, or do you need some help? If you do Shergroup can help you build your customer list so that you can do more business and grow your profits.

One of the services from our marketing solutions is ‘Mange Your CRM Data’. We offer this service to help you manage your customer data. This service extends to not only getting your current customer data in place but also helps in building a list with the kind of customers you'd like in the future, your prospects.

How We do it | We take your email list, your Rolodex, and pull out your customer details from your financial data, your ordering data, sales data, LinkedIn, case management systems and social media pages and we plug all this data into One big email list.

Once we have a list with all the curated data then we add more data to that email list with the type of customers you'd want to sell to and grow your universe of customers.

It took us a decade to curate all our data and build a huge email list with more than 200,000  contacts in our list. We took that challenge up and today we are reaping the fruits in terms of more visibility, more leads, and more customers.

We offer this data handling and email list management service to everyone on our mailing list. As we know business owners need that help, in pulling their data together. Without that sort of help the data either gets lost or sits on your system forever. You can gather all the data together and use it to communicate with your entire universe of suppliers, customers, influencers, family, friends, co-workers. This piques people's attention, prompting them to talk about your brand, what you do, visit your website and social media pages, all this can help you in measuring the interest in your business.

It gives you a direction to move forward and see where the future lies for you. You can put in more effort in selling more of your products and services to the people that want them.

We can check to see whether you have a CRM system in place once we've established an email list for you. If we can assist you in putting everything together and getting your system to start generating more leads and driving more visitors to your website, that would be fantastic.

We can even help you to update or refresh your website look. Before you even decide to jump into creating your social media pages, we would advise you to create your email list first. It’s a great medium to connect with your audience.

Getting your brand out there is important. If you want Shergroup to curate all that data for you, we'd be happy to do it. We have built our data over a decade and know how to use it to grow our business. So, make use of our experience and give your business a kickstart into a great selling experience. Once we have all your data in one single place, we can import that to our lead generation and marketing program.

If you already have a website, then we can take a look at how it's working for you. Whether we can contribute to bring in more traffic and turn those leads into customers for you.

Gathering all your data and building your email list is the first step. You have all the data you need right under your nose; you just didn't realize. It's the foundation for growing your website's traffic and establishing your social media presence. We can assist you in taking that first step by harnessing the data in a few simple steps.

So, we recommend that you begin gathering your excel sheets. Start thinking&

In this Podcast Claire talks about how to enforce payment of an Employment Tribunal Award, or ACAS Settlement Award, when usually the employer doesn't want to pay up.  Use this service if you have been awarded compensation against your former employer, either by an Employment Tribunal or by ACAS, and you haven’t received your money. This can be a very difficult situation for a former employee - because they want their money, but going up against a former employer who lost in proceedings can be intimidating. 

Whatever the amount, and as long as the Award is not more than 6 years old, we can help you.  You can use this service as soon as your employer defaults in making the payment.

All you have to do is upload your Award paperwork (every page please) and fill in your details.  We charge just £66.00 which is the Court Fee for sealing the paperwork which gives us our authority to enforce payment.  This is called a Writ of Control.

 We can understand if you have put off the enforcement of your Award and don't really want the hassle.  But it's worth a try.  Don't give up.  You're entitled to interest on your Award which can be significant as it is growing at 8% per annum.  That's better than any bank rate at the moment.  

Also if you used other enforcement agents and they couldn't get a result for you we would like to see if we can help you.  You can instruct Shergroup to see if we can do better, and before doing this you can talk to us about your enforcement experience.  We will soon get a feel for whether you have a chance or are wasting your time.   

Our service involves converting the Tribunal or ACAS Award into a High Court Writ of Control, which gives our High Court Enforcement Officer and her enforcement agents legal authority to take legal control of the goods of your former employer.  This then puts you in the position of a creditor.  So, if your former employer refuses to pay your Award, then goods can be taken to be sold to pay your Award.  We can’t guarantee you 100% success, but it certainly puts you in the driving seat and gives you a good chance of getting paid quickly.

Just scan or click photos of each page of the Award paperwork and click on the “Upload” button.  Then fill in your details, and pay the fee.

Our friendly and expert team of Business Solutions Advisors will help you through our process and keep you informed of what’s happening.   Check out our website at www.shergroup.com, and join our community!  You can chat with us - or email us at [email protected].  So take it easy and let's see if we can get you on the right track.

Listen to our Chief Shergroupie, Claire Sandbrook, explain the benefits of transferring your County Court Judgment (CCJ) to her and her team.  Claire is now entering her fifth decade as an enforcement professional and has worked on every major initiative that has seen this area of enforcement move forward.

That helps you because when you choose Shergroup High Court Enforcement, you are entrusting your enforcement with a tried and tested team with over 100 years of operational experience between them.

Claire has been building her national panel for enforcement agents over the last 20 years and you can see Shergroup's team in the TV Show, "Call The Bailiffs | Time to Pay Up". 

If you have come out of the Courts of England and Wales holding a piece of paper that says you have a judgment for a sum of money, then this is the team you want on your case to give you the best possible outcome to turning your judgment into cash. 

You should have a County Court Judgment in your documents which will have been sent to you by the Court on a Form N30 after you have requested judgment.  This judgment is enforceable for up to 6 years from the date it was made.

It may be enforceable for longer than that if you can build a case to say what you have done to try and enforce it over the life of the judgment.

For County Court Judgments obtained in the last 6 years which are over £600 in value – which is stated in the box on the front of the form, we provide a simple service to turn that judgment into a High Court Writ of Control.

The benefit of doing this is that you will be able to access our network of licensed enforcement agents who work across England and Wales, to deliver a fair yet firm approach to people who don’t want to pay you your money.

We charge a ONE TIME FEE of £156  which is the only fee you will be charged.  If we are successful in recovering the money from your debtor you will get back this fee as part of the money we recover for you.

When we transfer your judgment to the High Court we will add interest at a rate of 8% per annum from the date that your judgment is transferred.  Usually, this is the date the County Court issues a Form N293A and this will usually be done just after you buy this service.  If your judgment is over £5,000 in value then you will be entitled to interest at 8% per annum from the date of your county court judgment.

So we encourage you to dig out the County Court Judgments in your favour and send them to us for enforcement.

Click a photo or scan any paperwork you want to upload into our service, then fill in your details and make your payment.

One of our friendly Business Solution Advisors will contact you to check we have everything we need.

And we are always here to discuss what you want to do before you send your papers across.

Call us on 0845 890 9200 and one of our friendly Business Solutions Advisors will take care of you and your CCJ.
