The residential bridging and development finance platform offers individual and institutional lenders the opportunity to earn target returns of 7-11% pa from carefully chosen and independently monitored residential development projects.

This announcement comes after Invest & Fund completed a second fundraising round, joined the NACFB and expanded its business development, credit assessment, loan servicing and marketing headcount this year.

“We are 100% focused on residential property, supporting developers and brokers at a time when the housing market needs new sources of investment and lenders are searching for better returns,” said David Turner, CEO and co-founder of Invest & Fund (pictured above). 

“FCA authorisation shows we’re operating at the highest standards and building a trusted, specialist lending platform.”

The platform is led by an experienced board, which includes chairman Robert Burgess, former managing director of Barclays Capital.

Robert added: “FCA authorisation helps us explore more ways to unlock funding for property developers operating at the underserviced, smaller end of the market. 

“And it builds even greater confidence across our lender base that we’re delivering a trusted, transparent service.”

Invest & Fund offers residential development and bridging loans for experienced developers across England and Wales, financed by a pipeline of registered individual and institutional lenders.
