A sign of the times

At Court today out of the 19 Possession Cases 15 were mortgage possessions.

Unfortunately I don't have exact stats for the previous weeks and months but I'll try and keep a track of them now.

When I started helping at our Court desk about 2 years ago it was about 40 pct mortgages and 60 pct others (private landlords, social providers etc) now I would say it's at least 60 pct mortgages and 40 pct others.

Oddly enough, we seem to be getting fewer calls - still a lot, but fewer. I figured it was because the CAB have geared up their mortgage possession support. Am I wrong (in London anyway)?

I'm not sure to be honest.

I've edited my post to include a link to the pre action protocol for mortgage possessions. Haven't had a chance to read it all yet but it does give some useful stats.

Also added the CML link for more handy stat action
