Black & White Bridging's comment on today's inflation drop
26 March 2025
Martyn Smith, Managing Director at Black & White Bridging:
"With inflation dropping to 2.8%, down from 3% last month —lenders and borrowers finally have some breathing space. Lower inflation levels are key to rebuilding confidence in the housing market, and if this trend continues, we should see more competitive borrowing options emerge.
“Bridging and development finance will be crucial in unlocking stalled projects and boosting supply, but policy support is needed to keep momentum going. If today’s Spring Statement doesn’t address planning bottlenecks and investment incentives, we risk missing a prime opportunity to get Britain building again."
