Four repossession orders on homes granted by court

FOUR repossession orders were granted in the High Court yesterday as the pace of home repossessions continued to slow.

In the case of a property near Ballybunion, Co Kerry, Start mortgages took possession after the owners failed to meet repayments on a €172,000 mortgage paid in five installments between July and October 2007.

The monies were used to build a house, but payments began being defaulted on from April 2008.
