Mortgages approved for home purchase (as opposed to applications refused OR re-mortgages)

Down 44% Year on Year

Seasonally Adjusted:

March 2008 - 64000
March 2007 - 114000

Non- SA:

March 2008 - 64000
March 2007 - 133000


There seems to be a 52% cliff fall in Estate Agents Profits, Builders Margins and Bankers Sales. This will feed through to airlines and the wider economy. Big Time.
