UK August BoE mortgage lending hits £4.41bn, above £4.4bn forecast

The beat is marginal, so the signal here is steadiness rather than acceleration: net borrowing is drifting higher, not surging, which fits a market where affordability still constrains volumes.

Whether the monthly uptick extends into a trend, or merely reflects seasonal noise, is the open question.
