Mortgage Approvals Rise
The latest Bank of England monthly lending figure for house purchases was 56,215, up by 68% on September last year and more than double the November 2008 low. However, the stark drop in mortgage approvals as a result of the credit crunch is starkly demonstrated; all approvals (including remortgages) stood at 110,000 for the month, barely 1/3 of pre-crunch levels.
