British Lenders Expect Lower Mortgage Demand in Early 2026, BoE

LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - British lenders expect to see demand for mortgages fall in early 2026 after dropping at the end of last year, according to a Bank of England survey published on Thursday.

The BoE's quarterly Credit Conditions Survey also showed lenders expected demand for unsecured consumer lending to be flat after rising in late 2025.

Demand for corporate lending in the three months to the end of February was expected to be unchanged too, the survey showed.

The survey of lenders took place between November 10 and December 3.
