There were 4,900 new Welsh homeowner remortgages completed in Q3, some 2.1% up year-on-year.
Julie-Ann Haines, chair of UK Finance’s Wales Mortgage Committee, said:"The Welsh mortgage market has remained steady, with overall house purchases broadly in line with the same period last year.
“Remortgaging has continued to grow as many fixed rate loans mature andhomeowners take advantage of a competitive market to lock into attractive deals.
"The number of first-time buyers is down slightly amid ongoing economic uncertainty, while the buy-to-let market has also softened due to the impact of recent tax changes.
“However, the overall picture of the market is consistent with the last couple of years and it would appear that this trend is set to continue in the short term.”
