UK mortgage approvals increased to a six-month high in August, data published by the UK Finance showed Tuesday.

The number of mortgage approvals rose to 41,807 in August from 41,644 in July. This was the highest since February, when it totaled 42,328.

Gross mortgage borrowing was GBP 13.2 billion, which was in line with recent months, but 6 percent higher than August 2016. Net mortgage borrowing grew 2.6 percent the from previous year.
