The Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) has published figures for mortgage and
landlord possession actions entered in the county courts of England and Wales
for the first quarter of 2006.
The figures report how many possession proceedings have been issued, and how
many orders for possession have been made by the county courts.
But as many of the orders made will not have been enforced these figures do not
reflect how many properties have been taken into possession.
During the first quarter of 2006, 33,442 mortgage possession actions were
entered, and a total of 21,997 orders were made, 11,074 of which were suspended
orders.
In the first quarter of 2006 the number of actions entered rose by 29% from
those in the first quarter of 2005.
For the same period, figures show a rise of 57% in orders made (50% of orders
made were suspended, compared to 56% in the first quarter of 2005).
During the first quarter of 2006, 38,240 landlord possession actions were
entered, and a total of 24,649 orders were made, 14,820 of which were suspended.
