Bank of England data show that mortgage approvals for house purchases increase to their highest level in around 15 months. Multiple outlets report that, in April, the Bank recorded 65,945 mortgage approvals for house purchases, as published in its Money and Credit report. The figures indicate a rise in the number of approvals during the period compared with the preceding months, reaching the reported 15-month high. The reports draw on the same official statistics and describe the movement in approvals rather than the broader outcomes for completed lending or house prices. No additional figures, such as changes by region, the average loan size, or year-on-year comparisons, are included in the excerpts provided by the outlets. Overall, the coverage focuses on the April approval count from the Bank’s Money and Credit publication as the key indicator.
