Rise in loans to first-time buyers

Mortgage lending to first-time buyers has reached its strongest level in more than five and a half years as the housing market revival continues.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) reported that the number of loans handed out to people taking their first step on the property ladder was two-fifths (40%) higher in July than the same period a year ago, and 5% higher than in June.
