UK Finance May mortgage approvals 39.24k vs 38.15k expected

Latest data released by UK Finance on housing approval - 26 June 2018

  • Prior 38.05k; revised to 38.33k

The data measures only a proportion of the demand in the UK housing market - those which are approved by High Street Banks in the UK.

That's a four-month high for the headline on approvals for home purchases but on a year-on-year basis the figure is down 4.3%. A minor data point, provides a general glimpse into UK housing sentiment.
