Santander was nearly £5bn behind at £23.7bn and an estimated market share of 16.8%. Both Barclays and Nationwide come in at joint third lending £17.1bn with an estimated market share of 12.1%.
Royal Bank of Scotland meanwhile lent £14.6bn – netting a market share of 10.4% - down from 12% the year before – while HSBC lent £13.3bn with an estimated market share of 9.4% - up from 8.3% the previous year.
Northern Rock, Yorkshire Building Society and Coventry all increased lending levels with Yorkshire lending an extra £1.3bn on the previous year compared to £0.5bn for both the Rock and Coventry, averaging a 3% market share.
ING Direct lent an extra £1.9bn on the previous year at £3bn with a market share of 2.1% while Cydesdale Bank also lent an extra £1bn at £2.7bn with an estimated market share of 1.9%.
Co-operative Financial Services was significantly down on its 2010 figures, lending just £1.6bn compared to £3.3bn the previous year – but still maintaining a top 12 slot with an estimated market share of 1.1%.
Lending at Skipton was up, however, with the society lending an extra £1.1bn compared to 2010’s £0.4bn. Leeds, ranked 14th in the CML table, only managed to lend £1.2bn – up £200 million on the previous year and with a market share of 0.9%.
Principality remained static – lending exactly the same as the year before at £800 million with a market share estimated at 0.6%.
Bank of Ireland dropped three places down the table to number 15, with lending reduced £300 million from £1.2bn the year before and reducing its market share to 0.6%.
Lending at UBS was up £300 million from the year before, shooting it up the league table from 24 to 17 with an estimated market share of 0.3%.
Nottingham remained static at £400 million and a share of 0.3% while Aldermore Mortgages also went from 24 last year to joint 17 in the league table, increasing its lending by £300 million and giving it a 0.3% share of the market.
Aviva equity Release, 16th in the table last year, dropped to 20th with a 0.2% market share. Lending levels were down £100 million on the previous year at £0.3bn.
The CML says: “The data show that, although lending remains heavily concentrated in the hands of the six largest lenders (an overall pattern that has been reinforced by the credit crunch), the next tier of medium-sized lenders increased their market share last year.
“The six largest lenders advanced mortgages worth £113.8 billion in 2011, compared to £110.8 billion in the preceding year.
“However, despite increasing their amount of lending in absolute terms, their share of the total advanced showed a modest decline in 2011 (from 81.9% in 2010 to 80.7% last year).”

BAC & Citigroup Stock outlook july 16-20 2012
BAC & Citigroup Stock outlook july 16-20 2012 : Bank of America Corporation (BAC) & Citigroup, Inc. (C) : The money center bank stocks are up significantly on the heels of two great earnings reports JPMorgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC). These were buy the news events as the doom and gloomers have recently taken control of market sentiment sending it to the bottom of the barrel.
The fact of the matter is U.S. banks are in great shape. How soon we forget last quarter's earnings reports from the banks were positive. The U.S. bank have been through the Fed's stress tests, downgraded by Moody's and had their earnings expectations lowered significantly. I see both Citigroup and BAC beating expectations and moving higher. Please review the following fundamental and technical analysis of the two stocks.
BAC is trading well below its consensus estimates and its 52 week high. The company is trading 24% below its 52 week high and has 33% upside based on the analysts' consensus mean target price of $10.36 for the company. BAC was trading Friday for $7.79, up over 4% for the day.
Fundamentally, BAC has several positives. The company has a forward PE of 7.63. BAC is trading for 1.69 times free cash flow and approximately one third of book value. EPS next year is expected to rise by 75%. Insider ownership is up 93% over the past six months.
BAC is in a solid uptrend posting higher highs and higher lows since mid-May. The stock has been under accumulation as is poised to break out to the upside based on a positive earnings report. The U.S. housing market is on its way to recovery and should underpin BAC's results. I like the stock here.
Citigroup is trading well below its consensus estimates and its 52 week high. The company is trading 34% below its 52 week high and has 52% upside based on the analysts' consensus mean target price of $40.39 for the company. Citigroup was trading Friday for $26.66, up over 5% for the day.
Fundamentally, Citigroup has several positives. The company has a forward P/E of 5.54. Citigroup is trading for 1.54 times free cash flow and less than half of book value. EPS next year is expected to rise by 14.86%. Insider ownership is up 30% over the past six months and the company pays a dividend with a yield of .16% and has a PEG ratio of 0.82.
Citigroup's stock is flat on the year. The stock recently bounced off the $25 level for the third time in the last 12 months effectively putting in a triple bottom. The 200 day sma is leveling off at the $30 mark. I see the bank up significantly within a year's time. I expect Citigroup to break above $30 in short order and hit $50 within the next 18 months. I'm a buyer here.

Bank of America Corp BAC shares week Review july 6 2012
Bank of America Corp BAC shares week Review july 6 2012 : Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC): New derivatives regulations were unanimously passed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Friday, that will impact the foreign operations of American banks, according to The New York Times on Friday night. Overseas banks that carry out significant derivatives trading in the U.S., would also be affected by the rules that, among other measures, would introduce new standards for capital.
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC): Growing private consumption numbers and also spending on rebuilding from last year’s earthquake, prompted The Bank of Japan on Thursday to upgrade its assessment for all nine regions of the economy, according to Reuters. This is the first such move in around three years; the Bank is expected to leave monetary settings unchanged next week.
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) and J.P.Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) shares both declined more than 3 percent on Thursday, as measures by central bankers to prime the world economy didn’t quite take with investors. Financial stocks were at the bottom of the S&P 500′s ten sectors, as hopes for the U.S. jobs report were also insufficient to prop up the shares.

Why Moody cuts ratings 15 biggest banks
Why Moody cuts ratings 15 biggest banks, Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Royal Bank of Scotland : Moody's has cut the ratings of 15 of the world's biggest banks, hours after the markets were digesting the admission by Spain that its banks could need up to €62bn of bailout money to see them through the next three years.
The result of the independent audit of Spain's banks put the gap in their finances at between €16bn and €62bn – similar to the €50bn calculated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) two weeks ago.
Banking giants including Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Royal Bank of Scotland all had their credit ratings cut.
The ratings agency said the cuts reflected declining profitability
in an industry suffering from a slowdown in economic growth, tougher
regulations and nervous investors.
A downgrade can push up the cost of borrowing for a bank and require it to put up extra collateral for some existing business. Higher borrowing costs on the market could also lead banks to push up borrowing costs to customers.
Moody's downgraded the bailed out Royal Bank of Scotland by one notch – as had been warned. RBS said this would force it to post £9bn of extra collateral against existing positions but said it disputed the ratings change, which also affected its short-term debt rating.
HSBC, which had been warned of a two notch hit, declined to comment after it was cut by just one notch while Barclays was cut by the two notches that the agency had warned it faced. Moody's said the banks "have significant exposure to the volatility and risk of outsized losses inherent to capital markets activities".
Lloyds Banking Group, almost 40% owned by the British taxpayer, was cut by one notch rather than the two that had been considered and it said the mooted change "would have limited impact on our funding costs and market capacity".
Morgan Stanley had its rating cut to Baa1, just three notches above the junk, or non-investment grade, status that many bond buyers avoid. Citigroup, which had its rating cut from A3 to Baa2, hit out at the agency, calling it "arbitrary" and "completely unwarranted". Goldman Sachs's rating was cut to to A3 from A1.
Moody's cuts came after US and European stock markets had all closed
down. In the US there was fresh evidence that the recovery in the jobs market was stalling while manufacturing slows. In Germany, Europe's strongest economy, private sector growth shrank for the second month in a row, according to a survey by Matrix analysts. Germany's manufacturing activity hit a three-year low, according to the survey.
The downgrades had been expected since February when Moody's announced a review of more than 100 financial institutions' financial health as a result of the eurozone crisis in a simultaneous review of 17 banks with major investment banking operations. Credit Suisse was hit hard by the full three notches it had faced.
Moody's cut its ratings on Spanish banks in May and Thursday's independent assessment of Spain's banks will be used by the government in Madrid to calculate the final sum when it makes its formal petition for bailout money from Europe's rescue funds.
The figures were well below the maximum of €100bn that eurozone governments have offered Spain to bail out banks that are still laden with toxic assets left over from a property bubble that burst four years ago.
Officials said the formal petition would come within days, but did not say what the final figure would be or whether the government would add a security cushion.
The studies, carried out by auditing companies Roland Berger and Oliver Wyman, covered 14 banking groups that account for 90% of the sector in Spain.
Officials hoped that the figures would help calm markets, which responded to the announcement of the bailout two weeks ago by putting further pressure on Spain's state borrowing costs.
"We hope this will be definitive," said the secretary of state for the economy, Fernando Jiménez. "We have a generous backstop and are already carrying out a very aggressive provisioning."
Markets had lost confidence in Spain's ability to judge its own banking needs after the two rounds of provisioning ordered so far this year failed to prevent the downfall of Bankia, the country's fourth biggest lender, now part-nationalised.
Bankia's new management has already said it needs an injection of €19bn of capital. "There was some uncertainty about the resistance of the system," Jiménez admitted. "This is an additional exercise in transparency."
Spain's borrowing costs had been falling in recent days but on Thursday the country still had to pay its highest interest rate for 16 years to raise money over three and five years.
The auditors did not produce figures for individual banks, though officials insisted that the study showed that the biggest three lenders – Santander, BBVA and Caixabank – would not need any injection of public capital. A second group of banks may be able to raise capital themselves or might prefer to ask for bailout money. A third group of lenders is made up of former savings banks, like Bankia, that have already received state support.
Analysts welcomed the results, but warned they were based on figures that are already six months out of date, in a country that is now in recession.
"The decision to bring in independent consultants to pore over the loan books of banks has injected much-needed credibility into the restructuring of Spain's banking sector," said Nicholas Spiro of Spiro Sovereign Strategy.
"The perception among foreign investors that the severity of the problems in the banking system are not being recognised is no longer justified."
Economy minister Luis de Guindos, who was in Luxembourg with eurozone colleagues to discuss Spain's request, said a formal application would be made within a few days.
Eurozone finance ministers offered Spain a bailout loan of up to €100bn on 9 June. The terms of the loan – for which the Spanish government, rather than the banks, will ultimately be responsible – still have to be negotiated.

Bank of America earning estimates report april 19 2012
Bank of America earning estimates report april 19 2012 : Bank of America is scheduled to walk back into the earnings spotlight bright and early Thursday morning.The Charlotte, N.C. bank is now the last of the biggest banks to report and, after its stock went soaring out of the gate this year, the bank may be in a “show me state” even more so than the others. J.P. Morgan had what were widely viewed as strong results and saw its stock fall.
That’s a possibility for BofA, especially as several analysts have already cut the stock, saying the earnings prospects are not strong enough to rationalize a 60% year-to-date rally.
One sign of how unsure investors are of tomorrow: The shares of Bank of America ended Wednesday totally flat. Zero percent change.
For an example of why tomorrow morning might be look murky, turn to Citigroup’s earnings from Monday.
Citi’s results included a hefty “debit-valuation adjustment” charge. The dreaded DVA has become a quarterly headache for banks. The accounting charge is tied to the value the market ascribes to the bank’s outstanding debt. Citi argued analysts don’t count it as earnings, good or bad.
BofA is likely to face the same issue. The open market has gained confidence in BofA debt recently as the bank looks stronger (despite what fake press releases say).
In the fourth quarter it booked a $500 million loss and this first quarter likely saw that trend steepen.
Analysts expect earnings, excluding DVA, of 12 cents a share on revenue of $22.5 billion, both down from the prior year.
Here’s what else to watch out for from the nation’s No. 2 bank by assets:
Cost cuts – The bank is unlikely to deliver details about phase two of Project New BAC, WSJ has reported. That’s going to lead to an awful lot of questioning from analysts, who spent much of last quarter’s conference call on costs and were told they’d get answers after the work was done in April.
Mortgages: The good side – Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and U.S. Bancorp all touted strong mortgage origination volumes and booming revenue from the industry as refinancings heat up. BofA has moved thousands of employees away from creating mortgages into handling soured mortgages, but CEO Brian Moynihan has said the bank wants to keep delivering mortgages when it helps customers. The bank has a lot of those still, so will it also benefit from the mortgage gains or will it cement its fall from the mortgage top?
Mortgages: The bad side – Particularly interesting will be BofA’s tone about Fannie Mae, the government entity it has now stopped dealing with after getting fed up with Fannie requesting the bank buy back mortgages. Did that February decision lead to more repurchase request or have the two taken deep breaths?
Capital – After BofA shares touched above $10 last month, an untrue market rumor spread that it would sell shares. The rumor was shot down quickly by the bank. Moynihan has spent much time combating that speculation, but asset sales are still a possibility. BofA will give it another go tomorrow at convincing the world it is on track for Basel III and needs no dilutive share sale to help.

Bank of America (BAC) stock outlook 2012
Bank of America (BAC) stock outlook 2012 ; Bank of America's(BAC) in trouble. How much trouble? Enough that this will be the year where management is replaced if nothing good happens. Bank of America has devolved into a collection of losing lawsuits connected to a deposit company. I have never seen so much legal exposure to one solvent firm except the asbestos makers, and we know how that turned out.
I thought that BAC would turn the corner under Brian Moynihan. Instead it fell off a cliff. No bank's been that good in 2011 but this one's been disastrous. It will be lucky if it can get back to the $7, where Buffett put his imprimatur on it. If gigantic European banks implode, you are looking at a price as low as $3.

Bank of America (BAC) stock forecast 2012
Bank of America (BAC) stock forecast 2012 - How will Bank of America (BAC) stock perform 2012 ; Bank of America(BAC) has had a tough 2011 to say the least, and TheStreet has already argued the worst is yet to come in 2012, but we would be remiss if we didn't give readers a chance to weigh in.
Considering that Bank of America shares have lost more than 60% in 2011 through Tuesday's close, it is hard to see what could go worse for the bank. It hasn't shown a full-year profit since 2008, and though analysts as a group are estimating a profit of $0.03 per share for 2011, according to SNL Financial, some, such as Sandler O'Neill's Jeff Harte, believe the bank will finish 2011 in the red once again.
How Bank of America (BAC) will perform next year definitely makes it a stock to watch in 2012. After the markets closed on Wednesday, it was announced that the company and its Countrywide financial unit agreed to pay a $335 million dollar settlement over discrimination against minority homeowners. This is probably the least of Bank of America's lawsuit worries going forward, as I have written in previous articles here and here.
However, should the company weather the storm, there is tremendous upside in owning the stock or by purchasing call options. One strategy that I wrote an article about on Seeking Alpha that minimizes risk if you would like to take advantage of a possible upswing, but one that can also profit should the stock fall further, is the 'short call ladder' options strategy. Bank of America's stock is either going to really take off in price from its current price or it will completely tank in 2012. Using a neutral-bullish strategy is a smart move.
