New dates added for LendInvest Property Development Academy after overwhelming demand by applicants

• Eight times oversubscribed
• 20 & 21 January 2017 confirmed for second course

London 26 October 2016 – Applications for the inaugural LendInvest Property Development Academy course from LendInvest, the UK’s leading online mortgage lender, have now closed after a surge of demand.

Interest in the first course, to be held in the second week of November in central London, has been enormous with 200 applicants for the 25 slots available.

As a result of the sheer level of demand, LendInvest has released dates for a second London course to accommodate some of the applicants who could not be included in the first Academy course. This second course takes place in the third week of January 2017. LendInvest will announce further course dates in London and other UK cities in early 2017.

In September 2016, LendInvest launched the LendInvest Property Development Academy, a non-profit initiative designed to improve the skills of aspiring property developers whose projects can help to solve Britain’s major housing crisis.

Christian Faes, Co-Founder and CEO of LendInvest, said: “We have been astounded by the interest in the LendInvest Property Development Academy since we launched it last month. Our decision to add new London dates to accommodate more people is testament to the quality of the people who applied, a huge number of whom were able to demonstrate a genuine and serious intention to enter property development.

“Interest from developers, advisers and industry bodies alike in the LendInvest Property Development Academy has highlighted the desperate need for better development education. Our attendees are the lucky ones. They will benefit from the expertise of some fantastic coaches with crucial hands-on experience, as well as build a network of invaluable contacts from their local area.

“As momentum in the new government grows to encourage more SME housebuilding, we hope to be front and centre of the drive to give more developers the tools and confidence they need to deliver more homes onto UK streets.”

A full list of speakers and partners will be announced in due course.
