Abstract
In Britain between 1990 and 1998 454,280 households containing an estimated 1.32 million adults and children experienced mortgage repossession. The majority of households which are repossessed contained dependent children. Drawing on qualitative data derived from interviews with parents and children this paper aims to throw some light on how losing a family home in this way is experienced by children. The process of the repossession is often long and drawn out and is characterised by uncertainty; the change in tenure status from ‘owner’ to ‘renter’ is matched by a change in social status; and disruption in the children's social lives and circumstances.
