LiveMore comments on today's inflation data

17 December 2025

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

“Older homeowners were one of the biggest losers in the recent Budget, and this fall in inflation could provide them with some welcome good news. It increases the likelihood of a cut to the Bank of England base rate tomorrow, which could in turn increase affordability particularly for those on variable-rate or tracker products. It’s also good news for those on fixed incomes or dealing with higher mortgage costs, as the market has in recent weeks started to price in potential rate cuts.

“Stability is key in the mortgage market, and a lower-inflation environment can open up more possibilities for later-life lending. At LiveMore, we’re committed to helping people aged 50 to 90+ find solutions that suit their circumstances – and our Mortgage Matcher® tool is helping advisers do just that in today’s changing market.”
