Re: March 2013 figures for the main high street banks

They are saying personal deposits are up, but what section of the population are making those deposits. Probably not the man in the street who has to juggle his finances to pay the bills at the end of the month

So mortgage lending up, but they do not give figures on percentages of first time purchase and getting onto the first step of the housing market

and the prospect of more first time buyers entering the market during 2013 is likely to help mortgage chains in due course.

What about 2012??

And the report is only from the British Bankers Association

why no confirmation from official sources??

I will treat this with a pinch of salt, who believes a Banker anymore
