Instruct UsFAQs on CRAR
What can be recovered under CRAR?
CRAR only applies to principal rent, VAT and interest (VAT and interest only if stated within the lease). CRAR cannot be used to recover service charges, insurance premiums and rates. Landlords can explore alternative methods to recover these charges such as obtaining a County Court money judgment.
Contact Equivo should you require further assistance with regards the enforcement of money judgments and High Court enforcement thereafter.
When can CRAR be used?
The CRAR procedure can be enforced on any day of the week, between 6am and 9pm (or during the tenant’s normal business hours, if these differ). Seizure of the tenant's goods will be carried out by Certificated Enforcement Agents (bailiffs), strictly for goods belonging to the tenant only.
What can be seized under CRAR?
Only goods owned by the tenant as stated within the lease can be seized under CRAR. This excludes goods owned by a sub-tenant or other third-party. Tools of the Trade (up to an aggregate value of £1,350) are exempt from CRAR.
Who can take control of goods under CRAR?
Landlords must instruct Certificated Enforcement Agents to use CRAR as they have the powers to take control of goods and sell them via public auction.
Which leases can CRAR be used for?
CRAR can be used where there is a current and written lease in place that is solely for commercial use. CRAR cannot be used for the recovery of rent arrears if:
- The lease is for residential or ‘mixed-use’ premises,
- The rent arrears cannot be calculated with complete accuracy and certainty,
- The lease has come to an end.
