Abandoned Vehicles

At Essex Evictions, we provide highly trained and professional agents to deal with illegally parked or abandoned vehicles on your property.

Abandoned vehicles are not only an inconvenience, but can appear unattractive to any prospective customers or clients interested in your property. Even if you have a vacant lot, no one is allowed to park in it without your permission. 

Unauthorised vehicles on your property may either be abandoned, or parked illegally by local businesses, car dealerships or travellers.

We can help you track down the owner and serve notice on them on your behalf. The vehicle’s owner will have 14 days to claim their car before it is removed from the property. During this time, we will also conduct investigations into the vehicles, making enquiries with the local police to check if the vehicle has been stolen. We will also check if it has undergone a recent MOT and has been taxed and keep in touch with the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to ensure that the owner receives reasonable notice before the vehicle is removed.
