The proportion of homeowners’ income being swallowed up by mortgage payments is now one of the smallest since the mid-1990s, according to the Halifax. It said typical mortgage payments accounted for less than a third (29%) of homeowners’ disposable income in the last three months of 2017 – down from almost half (47%) during the same period in 2007. This figure is also “comfortably below” the long-term average of 35% for the period between 1983 and 2017.
