26.4 weeks.
That’s the latest median time from a landlord possession claim to repossession on an AST.
And that doesn’t include the 12 weeks before you can even make a claim.
At £1,250 pcm, that could mean almost £12,000 in lost rent.
All while the mortgage interest, insurance, service charges and maintenance bills keep coming.

For some landlords, an AST is still the right model.
For others, there are alternative ways to operate a property without relying on a traditional landlord-tenant relationship.
