Finova Broker comments in CPI inflation
22 April 2026
Matt Harrison, Customer Success Director at Finova Broker said:
"Inflation is proving far more stubborn than any of us could have anticipated at the start of the year. With tensions in Iran ongoing, we’re likely to see a rise in the base rate next week, ushering in a far longer period of elevated rates than many were hoping for and putting continued pressure on affordability.
"We’re already seeing a more cautious approach from both lenders and customers alike. That said, the market is adapting. Brokers are becoming more creative in structuring deals, and lenders are refining products to support borrowers navigating higher costs. The key message is that while stability would have been welcome, resilience and flexibility remain essential in the current environment."
