UK Mortgage Arrears Growth Stalls for First Time Since 2022
Q1 2025 data from Pepper Advantage’s UK mortgage portfolio shows that arrears growth has stalled for the first time since the cost-of-living crisis began in Q3 2022. The overall arrears growth rate for the UK was 0.0%, primarily driven by a 0.1% drop in the buy-to-let (BTL) arrears rate. This improvement in the BTL space was also reflected in the direct debit rejection (DDR) rate, which decreased by 7.1% compared to Q4 2024.
