Daily mortgage applications were up 14% for those in their 30s when comparing September this year to August 2021 and up 9% for those in their 20s over the same period.

“Interest in new home ownership remains high as the stamp duty holiday ends, especially among younger people. Many have been using their lockdown savings to help secure their perfect home, with over a third of people in their 20s (36%) saying that the pandemic had helped them save for a deposit, rising to 41% of those in their 30s."
