Pent Up Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Down from 46K to 43K Nope it's up from 41k to 43k. The previous figure on FF is final approvals. They two are not comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Loo Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nope it's up from 41k to 43k. The previous figure on FF is final approvals. They two are not comparable. are you saying 46 was the first figure and 41 was the final, and now the 43 is the prelim....surely the final figure is likely to be down too, as banks will be aching to get their great news out as quick as possible? not that approvals means sales...it means more SOLD/FOR SALE switching for the sign people.

Preliminary figures are from the five biggest lenders only. The final figure is from all UK lenders. So the first figure will always be lower. Obvioulsy you can't compare the total mortages approved to the figure for just five of the lenders. Although for some strange reason FF always put other as the previos figure. Last month preliminary was 41k Last month final was 44k although it looks to have been revised up to 46k at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
