LiveMore comment on Property Transactions

28 March 2025

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

“A peak in February was anticipated as buyers moved quickly to complete purchases ahead of the stamp duty deadline, and while we may see a temporary slowdown in April after the deadline, demand remains strong and transaction volumes are significantly up on this time last year.

"For older borrowers, stability in the housing market is essential, whether they’re looking to move, rightsize, or unlock equity from their homes. With recent cuts to interest rates, there are increasing opportunities for over-50s to access flexible later-life lending solutions that support their financial goals. At LiveMore, we’re committed to helping this underserved group navigate the market with confidence, ensuring they have the options they need to make the most of their homeownership journey.”
