Unlike in Scotland and Wales, England still hasn\u2019t introduced a tenant loan scheme. Such a move would allow renters to continue paying their rent by providing ultra-low-interest loans that are paid directly to landlords.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cLandlords are quickly becoming fed up with the lack of support coming their way, which could eventually give way to an exodus from the buy-to-let sector. This would be disastrous for renters, too, by depleting the number of more affordable rental properties on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, mountains of debt are piling up at the feet of landlords who are currently powerless to act. Although the overall number of possession claims has decreased by 67 percent, this figure likely masks a high number of landlords who are planning to evict struggling tenants but are yet to take formal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe government must now go beyond simply extending the evictions ban deadline if it wants to avoid permanent damage to Britain\u2019s rental market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>BY RYAN BEMBRIDGE<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propertywire.com\/news\/london-boroughs-dominate-landlord-repossession-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\">Property Wire<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Discover our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/secondchargemortgageuk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Second Charge Mortgage Broker<\/a> services.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London boroughs accounted for eight in 10 local authorities with the highest rates of landlord possession claims, data from the Ministry of Justice shows.
