Enables’s financial Advisors of Bishop's Stortford see that UK mortgage approvals have dipped slightly in October for the first time in seven months. Approvals in October fell to 42,808 from 43,182 in September, the British Bankers' Association said last week.
Some economists say the monthly fall in mortgage approvals could be due to some people delaying mortgage applications as they wait of the second phase of the Government's Help to Buy scheme, The BBA said there was clear evidence that Government subsidies had helped to kick start lending. "Assistance schemes for mortgages are helping first-time buyers and housing chains generally as housing market activity rises," It is also the end of the year for house buying and selling our experienced IFA’s at Enable often see things tail away a bit as Christmas approaches. The depths of winter are never usually that good time to buy or sell a house.
Meanwhile, net consumer credit rose by £12m to £79.63bn in October, as consumers borrowed slightly less on credit cards and paid-off more money on overdrafts. The BBA also noted that low loan rates were helping to stimulate demand. “Improving consumer confidence is also leading to the banks seeing higher demand for personal loans,” said David Dooks, statistics director at the BBA. If your confidence is rising and you are interested in getting finance in place for looking for a home in the Spring Enable’s IFA’s are happy to take you through your options.
