Request for mortgage data - May 2021


Reference Case Number: FOI8191

Freedom of Information: Right to know request:

I would like to like to know the number and the total value of mortgage sales for a residential property purchase for the period from Q1 2013 to the most recent quarter you have. The data should include only new sales.

I would like the data broken down by postcode district and split out by purpose of loan for the MLAR data (First-time buyers/buy-to-let/other) and for the PSD data (First-time buyers, home movers, right to buy, remortgagors/not known/other)

Example Format for MLAR data (regulated and unregulated loans together):

  • Quarter | Postcode Sector ? First-time buyers? buy-to-let ? other ? Total sales
  • Quarter| Postcode Sector ? First-time buyers? buy-to-let ? other ? Total value

Example Format for PSD data:

  • Quarter | Postcode Sector ? First-time buyers | home movers | right to buy | remortgagors |not known |other | Total sales
  • Quarter | Postcode Sector ? First-time buyers | home movers | right to buy | remortgagors |not known |other | Total value

Could you please provide an explanation of what the category "other" represents in both datasets?
