CrowdProperty unveils a new visual identity including a new website at www.crowdproperty.com
Specialist property peer to peer lender CrowdProperty today launched a new visual identity including a new website, days after moving through the £20,000,000 funded landmark. The new identity moves away from the previous property-focused visuals and towards those which better depict the fundamental ethos behind CrowdProperty: ‘Together we build a better future’.
The changes include a sharper company logo and the introduction of 'The CrowdProperty Shield’. The CrowdProperty Shield highlights the 1st Charge Security taken on all projects (just like the repossession rights a mortgage company holds over a residential home), the unparalleled specialist property expertise at the heart of the business and the rigorous due diligence processes employed, which work together to protect lenders’ funds and the 100% capital and interest payback track record.
Based on extensive research and feedback, one aim of the new website is to share the great experiences our customers have and why they keep coming back, including:
- Video case studies of developments that CrowdProperty has funded
- Testimonials from both lenders and borrowers
- More statistics underpinning our 100% capital and interest payback track record
- More about the great team of 23 at CrowdProperty
Having funded the 47th project on the CrowdProperty platform last week, a total of £20,526,000 has now been raised, doubling cumulative lending since closing a pre-Series A equity fundraise in December 2017. CrowdProperty has funded the development of 307 homes, demonstrating the potential that the platform has to materially contribute to the much needed housing supply across the UK as it continues its growth trajectory.
Most importantly, CrowdProperty has a 100% track record in repaying lenders’ capital and interest. Across 23 projects, £9,170,000 including £791,000 of interest has been returned. Of the 24 active loans, none are overdue.
CrowdProperty differentiates from other property peer to peer lending platforms by:
- Always taking first charge security (just like the repossession rights a mortgage company holds over a residential home)
- Having unparalleled expertise at the heart of the business, meaning projects are assessed with deep, hands-on specialist property experience
- Attracting the best projects with very competitive interest rates, taking market share from incumbent banks by means of exceptional customer service, knowing what property professionals need (not funding low quality projects who cannot raise finance elsewhere at high rates)
- Originating projects directly meaning more efficient economics for all, open lines of communication and the building of long-term trusted relationships with property professionals
- Being an independent marketplace, only ever funding third party projects
- Offering upmost transparency on the project, the borrowing entity and the people involved in the project
- Holding webinars on every project to enable lenders to ask borrowers questions above and beyond the comprehensive information provided
- Having a 100% track record in repaying lenders’ capital and interest
- Having no late loans in the active loan book
- Being directly authorised and regulated by the FCA
Mike Bristow, CEO of CrowdProperty believes that “fundamentally, we are solving major pains being experienced on both sides of our marketplace. On the one hand, property professionals are receiving appalling service from traditional funding providers, especially in terms of ease, speed, expertise and access to decision makers, all of which are pivotal to our proposition. On the other hand the general public are mostly getting sub-inflation returns on their savings – according to the Bank of England there is £1.3tr in savings accounts earning on average 0.8% interest. The big reason we can offer higher returns of 8%, is because of our structural cost advantage. We don’t have the high cost bases of traditional lenders, which include, for instance, their branch networks, origination costs and legacy IT systems and if we introduce interest rate changes, it is always applied to both sides of the marketplace. The CrowdProperty ISA then adds a tax-free cherry on top of the cake.”
“This is a strong step forward for CrowdProperty in communicating the power of our proposition. We work tirelessly to deliver a better deal for lenders and borrowers whilst enabling much needed housing supply, ultimately working together to build better futures for all. The time we took to build our expertise-led, independent marketplace and the proven, robust systems and processes underpinning it are now all reaping rewards. We are now delivering the exponential growth reflective of a market demanding what we offer as awareness grows. There is a lot more news on the near horizon too, which we are looking forward to being able to share.”
As always, we very much welcome your feedback and do continue to get in touch.
