Welcome

Mortgage market briefing for PPCs

We have published a pre-election document for prospective parliamentary candidates. It comprises our post-credit crunch manifesto for the mortgage market over the lifetime of the next Parliament on the key themes of supporting people in financial difficulty; helping the market to transact; regulating for the future; improving market participation and funding; and simplifying low-cost home-ownership.

The CML represents around 98% of the UK residential mortgage lending industry. Our members are helping over 11.5 million households to buy their homes. 70% of UK households are now home-owners.

Our aim is to help to foster a favourable operating environment in the UK housing and mortgage markets. We are the representative voice for the residential mortgage lending industry, and the central provider of economic, statistical, legal, research and other market information.

Our members are banks, building societies and other mortgage lenders. We also have associates, drawn from a variety of related businesses, including lawyers, conveyancers, search companies and management consultants.
