Yes. The regulations restricting the serving and execution of writs and warrants of possession by bailiffs apply to mortgage and landlord repossessions. Landlords and mortgage lenders are able to issue a claim and obtain a possession order, however bailiff enforcement in mortgage and landlord repossession cases is restricted by the terms of these Regulations until 31 May. Limited exemptions exist to enable landlords to take enforcement action in the most serious cases.
