Investment Opportunities

The platform continues to see projects being funded and funds being returned.  These include:

  • Equity:  Belfield, that is currently slightly ahead of development and Court Street, an equity raise where the project is complete and is on the market for sale
  • Peer to Peer Loans (ISA friendly):  Yorkshire refurbishment opportunity that was sold and investors paid back early and Acorn’s Sherston, project that has currently raised over £1.4M
  • We also continue to fund projects that are not available to everyone

Crowdfunding & Property Education

Education took many forms last year.  We spoke at numerous events, (both property and finance events), we provided online education and some investors have had the benefit of expanding their knowledge about property through the learn whilst investing programme.

We look forward to working and growing with you this year.   THANK YOU for your continued support and for helping us make this possible.
