Bank of England said issue delayed some payments on Thursday but that service had been restored by 4.30pm
House purchases were delayed on Thursday because of problems with a crucial payments system, the Bank of England said.
There were claims that the issue could have affected a number of homebuyers and movers, with some “stuck waiting for the green light” and loaded-up removal vans parked in driveways, though at 4.30pm on Thursday the Bank said service had been restored.
