Buyers need to sharpen up as mortgage approval rate continues to fall

5th November 2014

As house prices continue to rise, it may come as a shock to house buyers that the number of mortgage approvals in the UK has continued to fall, according to new figures released by the Bank of England.

As interest rates start creeping upwards, homes for sale are becoming scarcer. Cautious lenders are using new measures to keep lending activity in check and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
