According to a statement by Adrian Gill, director of Your Move and Reeds Rains estate agents, "Mortgage approvals have filtered into a faster lane, and the lending has also covered a fair distance, and the road ahead looks promising."

Opportunities are clearer now for the potential homeowners in the UK. There might be an increase in buyers' registrations due to the higher probability of being approved for lending applications. According to a report by propertywire.com, "This will cause further price rises over the summer, but buyers have plenty of cause for confidence, as cheap mortgage finance and smaller Stamp Duty fees keep home ownership within grasp."
