UK mortgage approvals rose more than expected in October, according to official figures published on Wednesday that point to a stabilisation in the property market after a prolonged period of low house sales.
Bank of England data showed that net mortgage approvals for house purchases rose to 47,400 in October from 43,700 in September.
The number was well above economists’ expectations of 45,000 and the highest since July, but about 28 per cent below its level in October 2019, before the pandemic.
Net approvals for remortgaging increased to 23,700 from 20,600 in the same period.
Mortgage approvals provide a timely measure of the housing market’s health, which affects the broader economy via house-related spending and household confidence.

This week has seen the resubmission of the planning application for the redevelopment of the FJB Hotels in Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs. Following the special committee meeting on the 13th of July 2022, Fortitudo have addressed the concerns over wave-over topping and the perceived flood risk at the Haven Hotel site and have provided updated reports and information within the new application.
With the newly gathered data, Fortitudo hope that the issues raised by the planning committee last year will be satisfied and the development can be approved.
Richard Carr, CEO of Fortitudo, has worked very closely on the proposed development and has said, ‘The granting of this application will bring about the regeneration of the coastline and the tourism offering in Poole with 2 new, high specification hotels with world class amenities as well as a state-of-the-art residential development on the Haven Hotel site. All three proposed buildings will comply with Fortitudo’s new ‘Carbon Negative’ initiative in their demolition, construction and operation, replacing older, less energy efficient buildings. The development will be a great benefit also to the local population as many of the amenities will be open to them including much-needed, new restaurants and spa facilities.’
Exciting announcement!
With the demolition completed, we are pleased to share the construction of the 12 apartments on Upton Way have started!
The homes will be split into two blocks of 6 and named Wallace House and Russel House, in recognition of Alfred Russel Wallace, the world-renowned biologist and explorer!

Yesterday, Skipton Building Society launched a new, no-deposit mortgage product aimed at those in long-term rent and first-time buyers in an encouraging step to make homeownership more accessible. The product is already proving popular and allows buyer with a good credit history purchase a home deposit free and without a guarantor.
‘We can really see the benefit of this type of product entering the market now that Help to Buy has ended, leaving many renters and first-time buyers with no assistance when buying a home. We have highlighted the point in our marketing previously that, in our area, buying a home is cheaper than renting one. Now, with this product, home ownership is cheaper and more achievable for many people, which can only be a welcome thing.’ Said Jack Newland, Head of Sales at Fortitudo.

Happy Coronation Day from Fortitudo!
Following on from the success at Churchill Business Park, Poole, we are excited to share that we have recently exchanged contracts and are due to submit a detailed planning application shortly for 76 light Industrial Units in Yate, along the M5 corridor!
More information to follow soon!
CEO, Richard Carr, has set a goal for the team at Fortitudo to move the Company away from the mindset of Carbon Neutral and move developments to a Carbon Negative footing.
‘We in the development Industry are consistently being reminded of embedded carbon in buildings that we wish to demolish, so we have started this new journey. This is the latest part of our Carbon journey after stopping installing gas boilers in 2017.’
During the demolition phase of Fortitudo’s latest development, Merchants Quarter, large efforts have been made to reduce the scheme’s carbon footprint, focussing on embedded carbon.
Embedded carbon is the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions associated with materials and construction processes throughout the whole lifecycle of a building or infrastructure. With this in mind, a careful and considered demolition process has allowed for the reclamation and reuse of a number of materials that formerly made up the Trethowans office on Longfleet Road in the Centre of Poole. At present, over 300,000 bricks have been cleaned of lyme mortar and are available for reuse, fireplaces throughout the building have been reclaimed and roof slates have been hand removed and are ready to be used on other projects.
Fortitudo have always had a focus on the operational carbon of their homes, the carbon that comes from energy, heat, lighting, etc, with the installation of air source heat pumps, EV charging points, solar panels and sustainable urban drainage systems across their developments, but a more considered approach to demolition is a huge stride towards a carbon negative development.

Today at the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole planning committee meeting, Fortitudo secured a resounding outline approval for the development on Glen Fern Road.
The scheme was valiantly supported by the Bournemouth BID, Ward Councillor Mike Greene and Fortitudo CEO Richard Carr, overturning the planning officer’s recommendation for refusal and paving the way for an 8 votes to 5 success, in favour of granting the development permission.
The approved scheme will bring forward 494 new homes to the centre of Bournemouth as well as a wide range of leisure facilities and a new 104 bedroom hotel. Richard Carr, CEO of Fortitudo said, “This is a pivotal moment in our journey to regenerate Bournemouth town centre. The next milestone for Fortitudo and our joint venture partner, Interceptor Opportunities Limited, is to get this delivered.”
During the debate amongst councillors, the scheme was called ‘a lifeline’ as well as being likened to the ‘Sydney Opera House’, with many labelling the scheme ‘iconic’ and highlighting its ability to become a focal point of the town.
