The Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) has failed to live up to expectations for over a quarter of mortgage brokers, according to research by the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA).

At a glance, this morning’s figures from the Bank of England might be seen as disappointing, with the number of approvals for both house purchase and remortgaging both showing a fall in June from May. Approvals for house purchase were down from 58,071 in May to 57,667 in June but the value was up from £8.6 billion to £8.7 billion. Remortgages fell in both value and number, down from £4.7 billion and 32,209 in May to £4.6 billion and 31,486 in June.
