Recent hikes in interest rates may be starting to slow the mortgage market according to the British Bankers Association.
Mortgage lending in March 07 fell to their lowest level for twelve months. Net mortgage lending rose by only £5.1bn for the month which is below the yearly average of £5.5bn.
The Building Societies Association released similar figures and whilst ther is no suggestion of concerns with regards to the economy as a whole, financial experts widely welcome the news. There was a suggestion that the housing market had been overheating which had been seen before to have serious consequences for the British economy. This latest news is no real surprise following three rate increases since last year although many analysts suggest further rate increases may take place through the course of 07.
