Possession of property claims form changes – Wales and England

Her Majesty's Courts Service (HMCTS) has introduced separate claim forms for possession of property as a result of changes to Welsh Housing Law.

There are now separate N5B claim forms for both England and Wales and separate defence forms N11B.

Claim and response forms only to be used for properties which are situated in England:-

• N5B England - Claim form for possession of property located wholly or partly in England (accelerated procedure) (assured shorthold tenancy)
• N11B England – Defence form (accelerated possession procedure) (assured shorthold tenancy) where the property is located wholly or partly in England

Claim and response forms only to be used for properties which are situated in Wales:-

• N5B Wales - Claim form for possession of property located wholly in Wales (accelerated procedure) (assured shorthold tenancy)
• N11B Wales – Defence form (accelerated possession procedure) (assured shorthold tenancy) where the property is located wholly or partly in Wales

These new forms come into force  on 1 December 2017
