Gross mortgage lending rose 14% in December against the previous month, the Council of Mortgage Lenders said today. Lending reached an estimated £13.7 billion in the month, up from £12.1 billion in November.
Lending totalled £39.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, up slightly on the previous quarter, although CML says there is typically a 6% fall from quarter three to four. However the total was still 14% down on the same period in 2008.
