Family have 'nowhere to go' after no fault eviction forces them out of home

A family who have lived in the same house for a decade could face a possession order for refusing to leave.

Kathryn and Michael Wakeham have lived in the same house for 10 years but have been given just months to vacate the property after being issued a no fault eviction notice. The couple, who run two charities including a food bank, have refused to leave their property due to there being no suitable homes available for them.

The issue illustrates a problem many have highlighted across the UK.

The Wakehams were first issued the eviction notice in February this year as the landlord decided to sell the property they live in.
