Latest data released by UK Finance - 24 August 2018

  • Prior 40.54k; revised to 40.33k

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. Minor dip in mortgages approved last month, but do note that these are only ones that are given out by High Street Banks. They provide a general indication of mortgage activity. Nothing much to decipher from the trend despite falling London home prices this year.
