LiveMore comment on HMRC Property Transactions
30 September 2025
Simon Webb, managing director of capital markets and finance at LiveMore, commented:
“An increase in non-seasonally adjusted residential transactions is encouraging and suggests that buyer demand is translating into activity. With the base rate cut in August, we expect this momentum to build, provided the market is given a period of stability in monetary policy. What happens in the budget and with interest rates in November will be key in sustaining confidence.
“For later life lending, the opportunity is clear. Borrowers aged 50 to 90+ still face limited awareness of their options, but demand is there. At LiveMore we continue to broaden access to a full spectrum of later life products, helping to keep housing transactions moving and enabling older borrowers to participate fully in the market.”
