Document background
A Demand Letter for Return of Property is a crucial legal document used when seeking to recover property that is wrongfully retained by another party. It represents a formal step in the property recovery process under English and Welsh law, typically used before initiating court proceedings. The letter should clearly identify the property in question, establish ownership rights, and set out a reasonable timeframe for return. This document is particularly important as courts often expect parties to have made reasonable attempts to resolve disputes before litigation, and a well-drafted demand letter can serve as evidence of such attempts.
