2) First time buyers are… buying

The Council of Mortgage Lenders have confirmed an increase in first time buyers, with 2016 showing an increase of 15% in first time buyer purchases compared to 2015. This totalled lending of £53.2bn and is the highest FTB level of borrowing since the CML started recording this in 1974.

Asking prices on Rightmove are up 2% this month, but that’s the smallest price rise at this time of year since February 2009. In London the price rise was 2.6%. Data: Rightmove House Price Index.
