Abstract

In brief: • There is a lack of joined up thinking within the housing possession process. • The amount of time and resources devoted to these cases fails to recognise the importance that occupiers attach to the prospect of losing a home, as well as the wider social and economic implications of eviction. • A working group has been set up in the Departments for Communities and Local Government to look into how the eviction process can be speeded up, but more radical reform could be needed.
