If a buy-to-let customer is in arrears, which would mean a breach of contract, does the bank have the power to appoint a fixed-asset receiver without any further intervention? I realise this is not what the bank does. Mr. O'Keeffe has explained it works with those concerned and all the rest of it but it has the authority at that point to appoint a fixed-asset receiver because, technically, the contract has been breached. Is that correct?
