U.K. Gross Mortgage Approvals

The U.K. Finance Mortgage Approvals, previously reported by the British Bankers' Association, reports the number of new mortgages approved by high street banks during the prior month. It comprises more than half of the total U.K. mortgage market and thus provides information about the U.K residential property market.

Figures referred to as ‘High Street Banks’ by UK Finance in this release relate to the UK activity of 21 institutions across the banking groups of Barclays, HSBC Bank, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Santander UK, TSB and Virgin Money.

A reading that is stronger than forecast is generally supportive (bullish) for the GBP, while a weaker than forecast reading is generally negative (bearish) for the GBP.

Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.
Don’t monopolize the conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to air their point of view.
