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 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 with JP Morgan announced last month.

David Langford, Relationship Director at HSBC, said: "HSBC is delighted to support LendInvest in expanding its funding capabilities.This financing strengthens our commitment to helping bring innovative solutions to the UK property market, enabling more investors and developers to access crucial resources at a time when agility and growth are key."

Kevin Vanistendael, Director of Securitised Product Solutions at Barclays, said: "Barclays is dedicated to offering strategic financing solutions that empower businesses to thrive. Our involvement in this extension underscores our continued support for innovative mortgage providers like LendInvest, as they bring new products to the UK Mortgage market that help both investors and borrowers alike."

Ghanem Al-Araj, Managing Director, Securitised Products Group at BNP Paribas, said: "BNP Paribas is pleased to be able to continue our relationship with LendInvest, providing essential funding that supports sustainable growth in the UK Mortgage market."

Ends.
