Approvals at a 10-month low
Mortgage approvals fall in March, outlook weak
"The British Bankers' Association said approvals by major lenders for house purchase fell to 31,888 last month from 32,840 in February. Approvals had hit a two-year high of 37,977 in January, but the BBA said on Thursday that activity had since "dropped back to more normal trend levels" after a temporary boost from first-time buyers seeking to buy before the stamp duty holiday ended on March 24".

Take away the smoke and the mirrors and it’s back to the fundamentals (said he hopefully).
