According to UK Insolvency Helpline, the falling rate of repossessions is mainly because of lenders that allow more customers to pay off just the interest on their loans.

The company provides financial advisory services through a network of accountants and lawyers. It is being feared that Britain could become a nation of homeowners, who do not own their properties at the end of their term.
