In October there were 88,000 new mortgage approvals, down from 100,000 in September and 128,000 a year ago, the Bank of England said.

Mortgage approvals are down 31% from a year ago.

Consumer debt increased last month? I wonder if they are borrowing to pay off the mortgage!

Perhaps the best evidence of the credit crunch is that the average mortgage for house purchase in Oct was just £138.8k, compared with £147.9k over the previous 6 months according to the BoE stats. Remortgage size seems stable for now. Meantime, buyers are having to fund larger deposits - which will knock significant numbers of potential buyers out of the market. Expect these trends to continue and become self reinforcing, and to apply downward pressure on prices.

So you can get every single person who took out a mortgage in October for the ENTIRE COUNTRY in the new Wembley Stadium and still have spare seats?! (it holds 90k)
