Number of large deposit borrowers drop to lowest level in 2017 according to E-Surv

July 3, 2017

The latest Mortgage Monitor from  e-surv May 2017 headlines ‘large deposit borrowers fall to lowest level in 2017’.

According to e-surv, one of the UK’s largest residential chartered surveyors, the proportion of people buying a home with a large deposit fell in May.

 

The size of overall mortgage market shrinks compared to last year, North West England sees highest proportion of small deposit lending.

Large deposit buyers – defined as those with a deposit of 60% or more – took out 33.9% of all home loans this month. This is down on the 34.6% recorded in April and is the lowest ratio seen so far in 2017.

Borrowers with small deposits saw their share of the market sip slightly from 21.5% to 21.3% month-on-month.

Richard Sexton, director of e-surv chartered surveyors, comments: “May was a month for the mid-market borrowers as large and small deposit buyers saw their share of the market fall.

“But this can also be viewed as a positive for young buyers. As mid-market borrowers move up the ladder and into bigger properties, this frees up stock for buyers looking to get onto the ladder for the first time.”
