LendInvest Backs 50-Home Bulk Acquisition with £17.3m Portfolio Bridge at 90% of Purchase

13 January, London – LendInvest Mortgages (LSE: LINV), a UK-based technology-backed specialist lender, completed a bridging loan totalling over £17 million to support the bulk acquisition of a residential portfolio across the South of England.

The deal, brought to the lender by an intermediary partner, enabled an experienced property investor to move quickly on a unique opportunity to purchase 50 homes from a developer at a bulk discount. The properties are located across four towns in Hampshire and Dorset.

The borrower, a seasoned investor with over a decade of experience in the UK property market, required a fast and flexible funding solution to secure the deal. The portfolio bridge was structured to accommodate the complexity of a multi-property acquisition while providing the funding needed to meet the developer’s timelines at 90% of the purchase price

A key component of the deal’s success was the clear exit strategy. The borrower plans to refinance 20 of the 50 homes onto LendInvest’s own Buy-to-Let (BTL) products within 90 days of the initial purchase. 

This “bridge-to-let” transition demonstrates the synergy between LendInvest’s short-term and long-term financing solutions.

Michael Minnie, Head of Bridging Sales at LendInvest, said: “This significant deal is a perfect example of LendInvest’s commitment to offering flexibility when it comes to short-term lending.

We are absolutely thrilled to facilitate this £17 million deal and solidify that short-term lending is no longer just a niche or reactive solution. When used strategically, as in this case, this type of flexible and certain funding can empower property investors to seize high-value opportunities.

By combining our bridging expertise with a clear path to long-term Buy-to-Let finance, we’ve provided a seamless end-to-end solution for a sophisticated client.”
