Mortgage approvals hit a nine-month high in December, more figures from the British Bankers Association reveal today. The Council of Mortgage Lenders said that gross mortgage lending was £18.9 billion last month, although this wasn't as strong as December. To discuss the figures, Nigel was joined by Mohammad Jamei, an economist from the Council of Mortgage Lenders.
