*It is not possible to distinguish between household and investor mortgages as they are both charged at the same rate. The figures of yield shown for Residential and Non-Residential Property also include the yields attributable to mortgages for which a precise breakdown between the property types is not available.

**Any apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding of constituent figures.
