UK Mortgage Approvals for House Purchase

Methodology

## What this measures

How many mortgages UK lenders approved for house purchases in the month.

## Why it matters

Approvals come before completed sales, so they lead the housing market by a couple of months.

## How to read it

About 65,000 a month was the pre-pandemic norm; well below that signals a weak housing market.

## What it does not say

An approval is not a completed loan, and it excludes remortgaging.

## Source

Bank of England Statistical Interactive Database, series LPMVTVX ("Monthly number of total sterling approvals for house purchase to individuals, SA"). Palanor reads it from the database's CSV export every weekday.
