I used to work in this area and know it quite well.
A couple of comments on the valuation - the local authority is given wrongly by the surveyors. It is not Barnet but next borough in, Br**t. Not so posh.
The area is a bit run-down, high crime and this property stands almost on top of the dual carriageway slip road. Lots of fast food shops and minimarts. Nothing good. There used to be an Iceland but I think it closed. Some of the nearby areas are nice enough. If you watched Lead Balloon with Jack Dee, that was about half a mile away. Hence I think the valuation is optimistic looking at the state of the house and location.
The surveyor says the borrowers state it will be a private house, but go on to make the comments that planning permission for HOMO is not certain nor the local auth license for such use. Lots of HOMO in the area.
Parking even with permits is really difficult.
The crime stats are as I recall. Disorder and fights, followed by burglaries.
The only point of interest was that the Kray Twins tailor had a shop in the high street.

I like this one. Seems more akin to the PBLs of yesteryear than the goliath DFLs that now dominate.

Lendy said, "Lendy are offering a generous 1% cash back on this loan, in addition to 1% interest per month.".
To a novice investor that _might_ sound a little too much like 2% per month.
I thought this loan was ok. If it was available on another platform it probably would have gone very quickly.
I like to see pressure being exerted by the lender community and hopefully it is starting to have some positive effects within Lendy. I just hope they don't get pushed too much as it would be good for nobody.

Not clear to me whether the owner intends to change the property to an HMO or not. Six bedrooms? Has not got planning consent for HMO, but he "successfully converted a similar property into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO)", which seems to imply that he wants to do the same here. All a bit vague.

Just come back to me - the Kray Twins tailor was a Jewish chap called Barry the Stitch (this is genuine I met him once)

Full capital repayment just received. I assume that interest will follow shortly, given that I just had an email saying I should have received it.

This is more like what people want to see. Even in a declining market with an iffy valuation, had it gone pear-shaped it would still have returned most if not all money for investors because it had a liquid market with many potential buyers. The opposite seems to apply for many of the other ones that have gone wrong (ie castles, funky designed houses on the river, huge blocks of flats).
Just can't see why Lendy have not gone out and got more loans like this. The risk on this project is much smaller than a monster £30m loan on a leisure park that might needs 50 tranches, yet they both pay 12% to investors.

Just can't see why Lendy have not gone out and got more loans like this... I suspect mainly because they're undercut by other platforms who only pay investors about half that interest rate, never mind traditional lenders who have even lower cost of funds.
Edit: and a comment to add that as predicted in my previous post, the interest was indeed received too.
Another one nicely wrapped up, but that of course means that the remaining loan book is "worse" by the measure used over on the other thread... the more that repay in full, the "worse" that the loan book gets!
