Housing finance at a glance

Our bi-monthly newsletter gives a brief overview of current issues in the housing and mortgage markets. It is specifically written and distributed to all MPs, and members of the House of Lords who have an interest in housing issues.

We also produce a series of regional factsheets looking at the housing and mortgage markets in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the North of England, the North West and West Midlands.
