Money Mail 248 - 'Put It On The Mortgage'...Dead In 2024
About this episode
'Put it on the mortgage'. With lower interest rates and rising house prices, why wouldn’t you?

Using the house as an ATM is out of favour and now only 11% of 'new' loans were of that type. In 2019 it was almost 20%. Since the data series began a decade ago, mortgage top-ups were the lowest ever in 2024 - and declining during the year.
