Mortgage approvals on the up
Consumers are continuing to rebuild their confidence, with mortgage approvals hitting the highest level in nearly two years*.
In July 2024, there were 62,000 new house purchase mortgage approvals - a 2.3% monthly rise and the greatest number since September 2022, when there were 65,100 approvals. Consumer mortgage lending has also reached highs we haven’t seen in a while; borrowing hit £2.8bn in July, having last peaked in November 2022 at £3.3bn. However, remortgage approvals have been on a downward trend since March - they fell by 8.1% in July to 25,100.
If you’re moving home or looking to remortgage, get in touch.
