Five busiest courts for landlord possession claims named

Tenant eviction firm Landlord Action says London's county courts are struggling to keep up with demand, listing its current busiest courts for landlord possession claims as Central London, Willesden, Barnet, Clerkenwell & Shoreditch, and Croydon.

According to Landlord Action, the number of people renting in London now accounts for around 25% of the capital's population, but many of the systems and processes to support this have simply not kept pace. The firm says London courts are overstretched by the level of possession proceedings, with many of them even using administration centres to process the claims, rather than handling the processing in-house.
