Mortgage Lending from the news release.
In June, the annual growth rate for mortgage lending remained unchanged at 3.2%, and has now been around 3% since late 2016. Although this is above the growth rate between 2009 and 2013, it remains modest compared to the pre-crisis period. In value terms, households borrowed an extra £3.9 billion secured against their homes in June, which slightly exceeds the average of the past year.
The number of mortgages approved for house purchase increased a little in June, to 66,000, and were close to their average since late 2013. This data gives us an indication of how much new mortgage lending we might expect to see in coming months. The number of approvals for remortgaging fell 7.3% in June to 48,000. Despite this fall, remortgaging approvals remain broadly in line with the average over 2018 so far.
