Mortgage Lending measures the total value of new mortgage loans approved by UK banks and building societies for home purchases. This indicator is a key barometer for the health of the UK housing market and overall consumer confidence. High levels of mortgage lending often precede increases in house prices and broader economic activity related to the construction and retail sectors.
The data is compiled by the Bank of England based on monthly returns from monetary financial institutions, reflecting the gross value of loans secured on dwellings.
