How can we help you?

Yes, we have one regulated product in which we lend against owner-occupied properties. Please see our Regulated Bridging Loan FAQs for more information.

Yes, but only in the context of investment properties. Such requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis. The maximum aggregate loan to value will always be 75%.

No. At the moment we are focussing on the UK property market. There is over £1.3 trillion in outstanding mortgage loan balances in the UK alone. It’s a massive market to operate in with a lot of scope for us to grow.

Please refer to our Product Guide to see the fees and charges that apply.

Every deal is different. If you provide all the necessary information promptly and your application is approved by our underwriting team, we can approve a loan within 7-14 days.

We like to lend to property entrepreneurs: property investors, landlords and developers who are seeking fast and flexible short-term finance to buy, build or refurbish their property projects.

We often lend to professionals who require fast funding for auction purchases, private direct sales or other investment opportunities where there is a tight deadline for completion.

We expect our borrowers to have proven property investment or development experience.

With regards to our Regulated Bridging Loans, these loans are for homeowners who need short-term funding for chain breaks, securing a new property quickly or light refurbishment.

The interest rate payable on a loan depends on a number of variables, including the loan-to-value ratio, property type, property location and the borrower’s previous experience. Please refer to our borrow page for full details on the products that we offer.

For our short-term property finance products:

1. Unregulated short-term bridging loans for residential, semi-commercial, commercial and land projects. Borrowers may borrow for up to 36 months (loan to value up to 75%).
2. Unregulated development loans for residential and semi-commercial projects in England, Wales and Scotland. Borrowers may borrow for up to 24 months (loan to gross development value up to 70%).
3. Regulated bridging loans are available for 6-12 month periods.

For our Buy-to-Let product, you can borrow for term lengths between 7-30 years.

This is insurance obtained against unknown but existing title defects. This avoids the need for standard conveyancing and other property related searches.

Title insurance removes the need for a full report on title, making for a simpler legal process and quicker completion times.

No. The policy protects the lender should a defect in title be discovered after releasing funds to the borrower.

Yes. But, as title insurance avoids the need for standard conveyancing, you may save on some legal costs.

No. Title insurance applies only to the following products, and the loan amount must be £750,000 or less:

• Residential Bridging loans (refinance only)
• Auction finance (residential properties only)
• Buy-to-Let standard property and HMO remortgages (not MUFBs)

No. LendInvest does not make personal loans.

Clone firms and loan scams

Fraudsters will often claim to be from a legitimate company, and may reference our name and address. You can find out more about why fraudsters do this here: https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/avoid-scams-unauthorised-firms/clone-firms-individuals

Loan scams happen when a victim is asked to pay an upfront fee for a loan. They may then be told there are further fees, for example supposedly for insurance.

After the fees are paid, the victim does not hear from the company again and the loan is never received.

We will never contact you from an @gmail.com or similar email address.

Our telephone number is 0203 836 1837.
