OUR STORY
Building the UK's leading alternative property investing platform
A technology-enabled property finance platform combining specialist expertise, disciplined underwriting and institutional capital to support borrowers through every stage of the property lifecycle.
LendInvest is one of the UK's leading alternative property finance platforms, connecting property investors, developers and homeowners with finance backed by institutional capital.
Since 2008, we have lent more than £9 billion across Buy-to-Let, Residential, Short-Term and Development Finance, building a scalable, technology-enabled platform that combines specialist underwriting, disciplined credit and exceptional service.
Our business is built around long-term partnerships. We work with borrowers and intermediaries to support the full property investment lifecycle, while providing institutional investors with access to professionally originated and managed property finance assets through a transparent, capital-efficient operating model.
Today, LendInvest manages more than £5.4 billion of funds and is backed by many of the world's leading financial institutions. Our combination of experienced people, proprietary technology and strong governance enables us to deliver sustainable growth for borrowers, funding partners and shareholders alike.
