The monthly number of approvals for remortgaging loans to individuals in the UK increased between 2012 and 2020, before plummeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second half of 2021, remortgaging activity headed for recovery and in October 2022, there were about 50,000 approvals. However, as mortgage interest rates soared, remortgaging fell dramatically, reaching a record low of about 20,000 approvals in October 2023. House purchase mortgage approvals followed a similar trend.
