LiveMore comment on HMRC Property Transactions
29 August 2025
Simon Webb, managing director of capital markets and finance at LiveMore, commented:
“Rising transaction volumes show that the housing market is building resilience after a challenging period. The recent base rate cut has clearly played a part in encouraging activity, and a further cut or hold by the MPC in September would provide the consistency buyers and lenders need.
“In later life lending, momentum is also gathering as borrowers over 50 increasingly look beyond equity release to a wider range of solutions. At LiveMore we’re seeing strong growth in our full range of products, which give customers the flexibility to borrow responsibly well into retirement. This growth in choice is vital to ensuring that older borrowers are not excluded from the recovery.”
