LiveMore comment on inflation
18 June 2025
Simon Webb, managing director of capital markets and finance at LiveMore, comments:
"The easing inflation today may boost the chances of a rate cut from the Bank of England tomorrow, sooner than previously expected.
“Lower inflation strengthens confidence across the mortgage market and could bring renewed energy among borrowers who’ve been holding back. For the later life sector, where financial needs are often more complex, this stability is particularly valuable.
“We continue to see strong interest from borrowers over 50 who want flexible lending options that align with their retirement goals or income mix. The long-term fundamentals of the later life lending market remain robust, and today’s data is another step in the right direction for both brokers and consumers looking for certainty."
