Buyer Confidence Edges Back, but Mortgage Rate Volatility Risks Recovery
The Bank of England reports UK residential mortgage stock reached a record £1.734 trn in Q4 2025, up 0.8% from the previous quarter and 3% year‑on‑year. New mortgage advances slipped 1.3% to £79.4 bn and commitments fell 11.9%, indicating a slowdown in fresh lending. At the same time, high‑LTV loans above 90% rose to 8.3% of advances and borrowers with LTI over 46.5% hit their highest levels since 2022, while owner‑occupier purchases grew to 61.6% of gross advances. Mortgage arrears remain low, but renewed rate volatility linked to oil price swings threatens the tentative recovery.
