It is considered delivered in 2 working days. If in doubt or to make doubly sure it is advised that you send 2 letters with proof of posting from 2 separate post offices.
Who advises sending two letters each from a separate office, the Post Office themselves? If it is that important to prove delivery, a service with tracking allows more definitive proof.

Internet bun fight yay \o/

1, signed for can be refused at point of service
2, op is not sure the address for service of notices is correct
3, everybody but you accepts that 2 letters with proof of posting to the address supplied for serving legal notices is the safest way of serving notice.

Amazingly that is what a Court will readily accept too!

Oh proof of postage is FREE! Yes costs you not one bean!

So... why am I wrong answers please!
 
A court could accept that one item sent by first-class post might go astray. The chances of two copies of the same letter sent from different post offices on the same day getting lost are so infinitesimally small as to be non-existent.

Grow up :rolleyes:

You haven't provided any source for your assertions, and funnily enough in the Notices section of the contracts I deal with on a daily basis sending two letters with proof of posting isn't the accepted way of serving legal notices.

If the address of the landlord is incorrect then sending two letters to the wrong address proves nothing other than the landlord would be able to easily show that the notice wasn't served as the address was incorrect.

Can you post a source showing courts will accept proof of postage?
 
I'm fortunate that I can bung my letter through the landlord's letterbox. He'd be psychotic to claim he hadn't got it.

So now we wait :cunningface: Thanks all! Good luck OP!
