Great common-sense lender to deal with - fast, efficient and easy to use. Will continue to use in the future.
Lendinvest was one of the very first lenders I used when starting out in Bridging Finance. They have a very easy application system, helpful staff and speedy decision making. As a broker, I need a lender who I can rely on fully and Lendinvest has definitely helped secure many great deals for my buy to let investors. Cannot recommend my BDM - Tatyana Stefanova - enough, she has pulled cases through which I had lost hope for, always on the go and so helpful!
Bridge case on a lend with lapsed planning where the surveyor initially put zero value down even though client had purchased the site 9 months earlier for £525k. Lendinvest underwriter looked outside the box to get the surveyor to re-visit and get it valued and £341k bridge completed, a week later same client completed on a refurbishment bridge with funds raised on the land as a deposit (£682k). It's important for underwriters to understand the project & because brokers get to speak to them direct it helps to iron out lot of issues. Thanks Justin and his team (Ryan & Arnold).
System was brilliant, very straight forward and the case offered quickly even though the deal was a complex small HMO.
Had a case with Lendinvest this month deadline for the offer was today if no offer today my clients deal would have increased from 5.19% to 7.19% costing my client £50,000 more over the 5 year fixed term . Due to unforeseen circumstances the valuation was not received until mid afternoon today a complicated case to say the least 5 flats under one title remortgage BTL Ltd company . Just got the call to say the case was offered what a relief for all concerned . But if it was not for the tenacity of my BDM Tatyana Stefanova who put so much effort into pushing this over the line I would have had a very unhappy client . Big thank you also to the Scottish underwriter Rob Finlay who went that extra mile and got this case to offer . I can highly recommend Lendinvest a fantastic lender great staff very competitive rates excellent processing and IT a very smooth journey 5 Stars .
Very happy with service from Lendinvest. Literally the fastest, most efficient lender in the UK. My Business Development Manager Tatyana is amazing, always there to help my clients in any way she can. Would highly recommend.
Lendinvest have been fantastic to deal with. They’re an honest lender and treat borrowers fairly. Victoria has done a brilliant job ensuring we are familiar with products and criteria. She has ensured that cases are processed smoothly and is always on hand to deal with queries. Cases are underwritten professionally, efficiently and often a common-sense approach is taken. The underwriters, particularly Daryl, are always happy to speak directly to iron out issues with existing cases or give an indication on potential new cases. My clients have had very positive experiences all-round.
Our BDM Abby was very helpful checking the suitability of the property so that there were no issues. Underwriting process was pretty simple and straight forward.
I required a bridge to purchase a property at auction and found Lendinvest very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Victoria/Arnold ensured that the deal completed within the auction time frames and funds left on the day of completion. I would highly recommend and would use them again!
Abby at Lendinvest has been consistently excellent in all our dealings, providing a prompt and professional experience every time - thank you.
Amazing lender, If you have the pleasure of having Abigail as your bdm you’ll be impressed with her commitment and professionalism. Underwriters are helpful and they always try and get the deal done
Lendinvest turnaround time from app to offer very good and the portal is very easy to use
I am investor with over 100 properties and 20 years experience , I hate dealing with matrix lenders and much prefer corporate facilities but I was presently surprised how good Lendinvest systems were , when we got into difficulties in legals , Lendinvest took a commercial view on what’s was going on and allowed the transaction to go through at pace , very impressed and would recommend any serious investor to use them
Used to be good for an individual investor but now we do not see the opportunities as I imagine their banking partners and the retail bonds get the best of it. Why would I lend at 4.5 or 5% and take risk vs a one year deposit at 2.75%. With interest rates rising the game is over me thinks?
Horrendous company. They use solicitors to act for them that don't provide paperwork until the mortgage is about to expire, then when it expires Lendinvest won't extend the offer and offer you a much more expensive mortgage. Total joke.
I have been with LendInvest since October 2021, who unexpectedly, on their part, graciously extended the product for up to a further year with no penalties. I worked with Natalie, who also, swiftly and diligently cleared up a potentially negative impact on my credit score, due to an oversight on my part, for which I will be eternally grateful. Particularly in an increasingly uncertain market. And with no early repayment fees, I can only offer a first class review and a strong suggestion that Natalie is promoted. Adam R.
As a follow-on to my previous reviews of Lendinvest, nothing much has changed. Firstly, I must admit that I don't think there is a problem with the platform, as to date, all repayments (I think) have been paid in full. The problem is that, compared to before the pandemic, there are VERY few investment opportunities - on average I would say maybe 2-3 per month! So with fairly regular repayments, I am having to withdraw most of my funds to place elsewhere. The automatic investment system is not very good, as they only offer a max LTV, min rate of interest, and no in-betweens. Email warnings of new opportunities are a waste of time, as 99% of them are fully funded BEFORE the email arrives at my computer!
Leading support backed by an intelligent team of real estate professionals. Lendinvest with their skills and technologies make the bridging and buy to let process seamless. Thanks to Sarah Sambles and Justin Trowse. On to the next!
Recently placed a clients case with them for a SPV buy to let next to a pub and have been really slick and easy to use. Great communication and support from BDM Tatyana. Will definitely be using again.
