CML notes challenging year for mortgage customers

Those looking to purchase a new home are facing low levels of lending from banks to help them do so, it has been revealed.

New figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) showed that there was little rise in the amount available to borrowers in February, with January's £9.475 billion only slightly increasing to £9.5 billion.

This is a continuation of a long year of small growth in lending, with the new statistics comparing to £9.419 billion seen in February 2010.

Bob Pannell, chief economist at the CML, said: "There is little in the latest batch of market data that would cause us to revise our market forecasts for 2011."

He added that this will likely be a "challenging year" for both consumers and the market as a whole.

CML Scotland recently welcomed Scottish Building Society general manager Jim Dunn as its new chairman, taking on the former role of Douglas Cochrane from Lloyds Banking Group.
