LiveMore comment on inflation

21 May 2025

Simon Webb, managing director of capital markets and finance at LiveMore, comments:

“While today’s inflation figures show that price pressures remain, they also highlight the resilience of the UK economy in navigating prolonged volatility. For older borrowers, this environment reinforces the value of tailored financial products that provide stability and flexibility.

“Although a base rate cut may be delayed, the market has already priced in some of this expectation, and many lenders – including LiveMore – continue to offer competitive rates and innovative solutions for the over-50s. We’re seeing growing demand from older homeowners who want to make the most of their property wealth in uncertain times, whether to support retirement, help family members, or simply improve quality of life.

“Inflation may still be a factor, but so is adaptability – and the later life lending market is stepping up to meet that challenge.”
