The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ members are banks, building societies and other lenders who together undertake around 95% of all residential mortgage lending in the UK
Total loan advances reached £20.7bn
Now we can do some simple and crude calculations on the number of properties in June, that were financed by mortgages.
Total lending = £20.7bn = £20,700 Million
if say the average of a UK house is £282,000 and the average deposit is perhaps 10% which is £28,200, then the mortgage needed is £282,000 – £28,200 = £253,800
So £253,800 = £0.253800 Million
Then total fund of £20,700 million of mortgages divided by average mortgage of £0.2538 million
= 81,560
Thus in June 81,560 homes were financed by mortgages.
