Mortgage Approval Rates Bounce Back, According to the Latest Bank of England Statisticsopens in new window
“The latest Money and Credit statistics from the Bank of England show that mortgage approval rates have increased for the first time since August 2022, in a positive sign for prospective purchasers. This may be driven by the greater willingness to lend now that there’s more certainty in the long-term view of rates. “However, with persistent inflation and high borrowing costs, affordability will be a concern for many looking to buy property or move home, despite a drop in prices. That’s reflected in the decrease in net mortgage lending, down from £2 billion in January to £0.7 billion in February."
