County court representation schemes for housing possession cases

County court housing advice and representation schemes aim to provide free, independent and confidential advice and representation to homeowners and tenants attending hearings in possession proceedings brought on grounds of arrears, who either have not previously obtained advice and/or are without legal representation.

The local authority no longer runs a specialist County Court Representation Scheme for mortgage repossession cases.
