LONDON - U.K. gross and net mortgage lending picked up slightly in June as the number of new loans approved for home purchases jumped to a 15-month high, seasonally adjusted figures from the British Bankers Association showed Thursday.

The number of mortgages approved for house purchases increased for the third consecutive month to 35,235 in June from 31,919 in May, the highest level since March last year.

Net mortgage lending increased to a rise of GBP2.6 billion in June from a gain of GBP2.4 billion the previous month, although it remained below the average rise of the previous six months of GBP3.1 billion.

Gross mortgage lending also ticked up to GBP7.9 billion from GBP7.8 billion in May, although it was almost 46% lower than in June last year and well below the average of the previous six months of GBP8.9 billion, the BBA said.
