Fewer homes were repossessed last year than in any year since 1982 - but lenders are warning that mortgage rates will not always be so favourable.
A total of 7,700 UK homes were repossessed last year compared with 10,200 in 2015, figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) show.
Homes are seized in this way if borrowers are consistently unable to meet their mortgage repayments.
The CML said that falling mortgage interest rates had eased the burden.
