The data collected by the Courts Service in respect of possession orders does not reflect the full picture on persons losing their property as most mortgage contracts permit the lender to foreclose for non-payment of instalment without a court order.
The statistics retained by the Courts Service do not necessarily refer to 'home repossessions'. Orders made by the courts are for possession of any type of property.
It is important to note that orders for possession do not necessarily equate with actual possessions. It is up to the person or company who obtained the order for possession to pursue its execution.
