LiveMore comments on inflation

16 July 2025

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

“While today’s rise in inflation may delay hopes of an imminent rate cut, it’s important to remember that progress towards economic stability is rarely linear. Setbacks like this are part of the journey, and the broader trajectory still points to easing price pressures over time.

“For the mortgage market, particularly later life lending, the focus remains on helping borrowers plan with confidence. Many over-50s are navigating financial decisions that span decades, not just months and short-term volatility doesn’t change the long-term need for accessible, flexible borrowing options.

“This moment offers a chance to keep conversations going around how we support financial resilience in later life, ensuring that older borrowers aren’t left behind as the market evolves.”
