LendInvest Announces FuM Increase to £5.44 billion

London, UK - January 26, 2026 - LendInvest, one of the UK's leading
alternative property finance and asset management platforms, today announces
that its Funds Under Management ("FuM") have increased to £5.44 billion.

The news comes as the business also announces a new £250 million bridging
funding partnership with global asset-based private credit specialist,
Castlelake, the latest in a number of recent funding initiatives.

LendInvest's Assets Under Management now stands at £3.61 billion (as of
December 31st 2025), reflecting continued growth in lending activity, with
total originations exceeding £9 billion since inception.

As at 31 December 2025, lending in the fourth quarter of the calendar year
totalled £360 million, including £150 million originated in December alone.

Recent funding activity

The increase in FuM follows a number of funding initiatives completed by the
Company since the end of its last reported period on 30 September 2025.

Most recently, LendInvest entered into a new £250 million funding partnership
with Castlelake, supporting the Company's bridging proposition and providing
additional flexibility for borrowers across the UK property investment
market.The arrangement increases LendInvest's capacity for larger, more
complex loans - including the ability to fund individual projects up to £15
million - while simultaneously unlocking a greater capability in regulated
bridging loans and other areas such as Development Exit financing.

Earlier in the period, LendInvest launched a new £175 million development
finance funding programme in partnership with AB CarVal and HSBC. The facility
provides additional capacity to support the Company's development lending
activities across the UK.

In October 2025, LendInvest Secured Income III plc issued an 8.25% Partially
Guaranteed Bond (due 2030), with proceeds used to support ongoing lending
activities and pay down debt. In addition, the Company completed its seventh
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securitisation under the Mortimer programme in
October 2025, a £310.6 million transaction backed by a portfolio of UK prime
Buy-to-Let and owner-occupied mortgage loans.

Rod Lockhart, Chief Executive Officer of LendInvest, said:

"Reaching £5.4 billion in FuM and surpassing £9 billion of total lending
since inception demonstrates that our strategy is delivering both scale and
consistent growth across the business.

'That progress is supported by our proprietary technology platform, which
underpins loan origination and operational efficiency and enables us to scale
lending activity in a disciplined way, as reflected in our recent quarterly
performance."

He added: "The breadth of funding we have secured across institutional
partnerships, securitisation markets and retail investors reflects strong
appetite for UK residential credit and for well-underwritten, scalable lending
platforms.

"It is also a clear signal that the capital markets are ready to get the UK
building. Now we just need the Government and the Bank of England to continue
removing the structural and regulatory blockers that still slow property
investors from getting homes built."
