Mortgage Lending Numbers Falls Again
August has signified a deteriorating property market with a 10-year low in Mortgage lending.
According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, gross mortgage lending fell 14% to stand at £11.4bn from July - the lowest level for August since 2000.
Property website Rightmove reported that house prices fell for the third month running, while the CML's warned that activity remained "exceptionally" weak last month.
According to the CML, lending volumes are likely to remain below last year's level in the coming months as activity is buoyed by the upcoming end of the stamp duty holiday.
Bob Pannell, CML Chief Economist said: "We face the prospect of a difficult second half of the year.
"However, the Bank of England is likely to keep interest rates at record lows for longer to support the economy. This will continue to alleviate payment pressures for many borrowers."
