Latest data released by UK Finance - 26 September 2018
- Prior 39.58k; revised to 39.62k
The data measures only a proportion of the demand in the UK housing market - those which are approved by High Street Banks in the UK. Relative to August 2017, the mortgages approved are down 4.2%. That continues to highlight the softening UK housing market led by declining prices in London.
Nothing much else to gather from the report here. Not a major data release by any means.
