Welcome
"The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) is the trade association for UK residential mortgage lenders. Our 109 members are a mix of banks, building societies, and non-deposit taking lenders. Our members account for 95% of all UK residential mortgage lending, and have £1.2 trillion of lending outstanding to around 11 million households.
"Our purpose is to represent mortgage lenders and promote sustainable housing finance in the UK. We are the main representative voice for the residential mortgage lending industry, and the central provider of economic, statistical, legal, research and other market information.
"We are always happy to help parliamentarians with queries on the mortgage market. We distribute a regular parliamentary newsletter, Housing finance at a Glance. And we run informal briefing lunches in the House of Commons for backbench MPs to discuss current market issues. If you have a mortgage market query or would like any information on our work, please contact our public affairs manager Michelle Vosper, or visit our website www.cml.org.uk"
