Movera comment on inflation increase

16 July 2025

Sharon Beedham, relationship director at ONP Solicitors commented:

“Rising inflation adds another layer of complexity to an already fragile housing market. While Rachel Reeves’ announcement aims to support first-time buyers with expanded lending and mortgage guarantees, higher inflation could lead to increased interest rates, which in turn could dampen affordability and slow buyer momentum. It creates a difficult balancing act between making credit more accessible and ensuring it remains affordable over time.

“In this environment, speed and certainty in transactions become even more important. At ONP, we’re focused on helping buyers navigate this volatility by improving the efficiency of the conveyancing process. As economic headwinds strengthen, the property industry needs to be ready to adapt — that means embracing tech, improving communication across the chain, and reducing unnecessary delays that cost buyers both time and money.”
