Monthly remortgaging lending value approvals in UK 2010-2022

The monthly value of approvals issued for remortgaging loans to individuals in the United Kingdom (UK) increased between 2010 and the first two months of 2020, before falling dramatically in March 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Between May 2020 and April 2021, remortgaging activity fluctuated, but in the second and third quarter of 2021, it headed for recovery, and in October 2022 stood at 10.4 billion British pounds. House purchase approvals followed a similar trend.
