Scope

Highlights

Datamonitor predicts that total gross lending in 2009 will reach £140 billion, a 46% decline as compared to the £261 billion worth of lending seen in 2008.

In February 2008, there were over 1,000 available products with a maximum LTV of 90% or more, and 500 products at 95% LTV or more. However, 12 months later, this had dropped to just 100 products and 10 products, respectively.

The remortgaging market has seen a large contraction so far in 2009 and this is expected to continue as consumers are wary of remortgaging and banks remain cautious over lending. Datamonitor forecasts that the remortgaging market will reach a nadir of £37.5m in terms of gross advances in 2010 before slowly recovering in 2011.
