Richard Woolhouse, Chief Economist at the BBA, reportedly said:“Household borrowing remains robust and this is indicative of the wider recovery we’re seeing in the economy.

“The increase in mortgage approvals this month is consistent with the trend we’ve seen since the start of the year.

Fierce competition between lenders means that there are some great mortgage deals available from the high street banks.
