HSBC Reports £141.4bn Mortgage Loan Book in H1 2026 Results

HSBC’s mortgage loan book reached £141.4bn at the end of June 2026, according to its latest half-year financial update. The bank reported an 8.1% share of the UK mortgage market.

The update also revealed that customer lending in HSBC’s UK business increased by £7.5bn, driven mainly by growth in mortgage balances and commercial lending. In 2025, HSBC lent £25.2bn in gross mortgages, up from £19.8bn in 2024. This performance placed HSBC fifth in UK mortgage lending volumes, based on UK Finance’s annual league table published last week.

For context, Lloyds Banking Group remained the UK’s largest lender for new mortgage business, advancing £52.2bn in 2025.

These figures provide insight into the current landscape of UK mortgage lending, which may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring lender activity and market share.
