There has been a significant rise in split mortgages, from 2,500 in August to 6,200 by the end of December. That means 4,000 people have agreed a split mortgage with their lenders. The number of mortgage accounts in arrears of longer than 90 days has fallen from 81,000 to 79,000. That decrease is not as much as we would like, but it is there.
