Document background
The Notice of Intent to Repossess is a mandatory legal document required under English and Welsh law before initiating property repossession proceedings. It must be issued when a borrower has defaulted on their mortgage or loan payments, and the lender intends to take possession of the property. The notice must provide clear information about the default, the amount owed, and actions required to remedy the situation. It must comply with the Consumer Credit Act 1974, the Law of Property Act 1925, and related regulations, including specific timing requirements and mandatory content. This document represents a crucial step in the pre-action protocol for possession claims and demonstrates the lender's compliance with regulatory requirements for fair treatment of customers in financial difficulty.
