Figures from the British Bankers Association show that 35,235 mortgages were approved in June, up from 31,919 the previous month, the BBA said.
The association claimed that the figures reflected the banks’ increased ability to lend and was 65% up on the same month a year earlier. However, the appetite for remortgaging and for borrowing with other loans remained subdued.
