The lending figure was up by 8% on a quarterly basis and 13% year on year.
Fiona Hoyle, head of consumer and mortgage finance at the trade body, said: “The second charge mortgage market reported further modest growth in November, and in the first 11 months of 2017, new business volumes increased by 11% compared with the same period in 2016.
“Lenders remain focused on fully embedding the new regime, which sees first and second charge mortgages regulated on the same basis.”
