LendInvest Secures £300 Million Financing Syndicate with

BNP Paribas, Barclays, and HSBC

Renewed facility to support LendInvest's growing Mortgages division, including
bridging loans and refurbishment products

 

LONDON: LendInvest, (AIM: LINV) the UK's leading platform for property
finance, has announced the renewal of its £300 million revolving warehouse
financing agreement with BNP Paribas, Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), and
HSBC.

The facility has been extended for a further three years on improved terms,
reflecting the continued confidence of major global financial institutions in
LendInvest's business model and cutting-edge technology platform.

The £300m facility, shared equally between BNP Paribas, Barclays, and HSBC,
will support LendInvest's Mortgages division, with a strategic focus on its
shorter term bridge financing
(https://www.lendinvest.com/intermediaries/products/bridging/) solutions -
such as Bridge-to-Let and Refurbishment and Retrofit products.

These products offer crucial financing solutions for property investors and
developers, enabling the acquisition and enhancement of properties - like
upgrading properties to meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), a
regulatory requirement aimed at improving the energy performance of homes
across the UK.

Rod Lockhart, CEO of LendInvest, commented: "We are pleased to announce the
renewal of our funding agreement with BNP Paribas, Barclays, and HSBC.

"This three-year extension highlights the confidence that investors have in
LendInvest's business strategy and the capability of our mortgages division to
drive sustained growth."

He added: "This renewed facility reinforces our commitment to supporting the
UK housing market by offering propositions that enable stock upgrades through
retrofit financing, while also expanding access to flexible mortgage products
like our Bridge-to-Let range."

The agreement builds on LendInvest's recent momentum in the capital markets,
following the £500 million funding agreement
