Mortgage lending leap fuels debate

UK mortgage lending in April was 36% higher than a year ago, a lenders' group says, as a major bank moves to cool the housing market in London.

Lloyds Banking Group limits mortgages to four times income for loans worth more than 500,000 in a move aimed at dampening the London housing market.

UK mortgage lending was higher than expected in 2013 but still well below the level seen in the housing boom, lenders say.

The number of people taking out mortgages with UK banks has fallen slightly, according to the British Bankers Association.

Lending to homebuyers hits its highest level since the financial crisis, according to figures from the Bank of England.
