Information on owner occupied and buy-to let mortgage data (>£1m advance) - June 2022


Reference Case Number: FOI9298

Freedom of Information: Right to know request:

Owner occupied and buy-to-let mortgage data (>£1m advance)

Would it be possible to provide the number and value of mortgages with advances greater than £1m.

I would like the data as a total for each of the last 6 years, 1 January to 31st December, split between regulated owner occupied and unregulated buy to let.

FCA response:

We can confirm that we hold some of the requested information, which can be found in the table below.  As explained below, we do not hold information on unregulated buy-to-let mortgages.

When considering this information, please note the following:

  • Sales figures exclude lifetime mortgages.
  • Sales figures include second charge mortgages.
  • From Quarter 2 2021 onwards, Product Sales Data (PSD) figures include internal product transfers and further advances (data for these products was not previously collected).
  • As PSD does not include data for unregulated products, we are unable to provide equivalent sales figures for unregulated buy-to-let mortgages.

Sales for regulated owner-occupied mortgages for calendar years 2016–21, broken down by loan value (<=£1m / >£1m), are as follows:
