Original Kurzfassung:
Using data for 1991 to 1997 from the British Household Panel Survey we investigate
the incidence of housing finance problems, evictions and repossessions. Previous research on
repossessions and problematical housing debt has focused on cross-sectional data. This paper
contributes uniquely to the literature by examining the sequence of household and individual
events associated with housing arrears and evictions. Our results show that previous experience
of financial problems have a significant and positive association with the current financial
situation, and that negative financial surprises are the main route into financial difficulties,
controlling for other changes such as divorce or loss of employment. We also confirm the
importance of structural, financial and personal factors in determining housing payment
problems. Families with higher income, where the head or his/her spouse is in work, and those
with greater assets have a lower risk of experiencing problems meeting their housing costs.
