Now, despite the arguable doom and gloom (?!) I am minded to renew on this tomorrow 17/1/17.
With all the other Loans against the Barn it's still LTV 26% and FS haven't adjusted the value (£700K) "to reflect the recent work performed", which was "structural adjustments."?!!!!
I'm not in property but don't these things usually sell fairly easily - this ones's 5 beds on 4 acres.

Without information on why structural change was required then my cautious nature has me asking, where's the barge pole?

Take your point stub8535, however at some stage you have to trust the Platform regarding "material facts" and I would like to think that if there was anything serious, structurally, then FS would avail us?

Info is in the update, seemingly the structural works were lifting up the barn by installing a brick course/whatever under the walls.

Why is the min bid 100£?

Because everyone would pile in, as indeed they did, and FS likes to give the minnows a chance to feed as well, instead of the whales taking huge chunks and leaving crumbs.
It's called "fairness", which seems fair enough to me.

The minimum (not maximum) bid was £100 so it got stuck with £75 left to fill. I raised it with them and they fixed it, but by the time I tried to get it, the £75 was gone.

My mistake, thanks Guff, got it wrong in my haste and didn't read correctly, I am conditioned to the more usual "Bid Restrictions." And good question mac, FS will have known it would go like hotcakes yet the minimum shuts out the pin money - bit unfair! Apologies peeps  |

I'm confused now, just re-read the notifying message from yesterday which states "There will be a restriction on both loans of £100 for the first 24 hours." which I take to mean the usual - that the Maximum you can Bid is £100???
Course, a "Restriction" could be in either direction and mean Min or Max?!

I am not aware that there has ever been a minumum restriction (apart from £25) on any loan.

Is this a 1st or 3rd Charge?!!!!
Today's Renewal eMail states "This is the renewal of a loan of £16,000 secured by a first legal charge against a barn conversion."
BUT
The General Information against the loan on FS website states "This loan is for £16,000 and falls behind previous loans issued under a facility of £125,000 as well as a loan of £32,500 issued under loan ref 1383504707." AND the Loan Title is "Surrey Property 3rd charge - Renewal (2390800381)"
I assume the General Information is correct and it IS a 3rd Charge (?) so the eMail today is yet another example of the notorious FS "Human Errors"??
Which occur worryingly frequently; shouldn't the FCA be ensuring that this sort of misinformation just doesn't happen?

Is this a 1st or 3rd Charge?!!!! It's a first charge in that there is no other lender involved, so FS have a first charge on the property. It's a third charge in that there are two groups of FS investors who would have higher priority than this loan in a 'recovery' situation. At least FS have calculated the LTV recognising the situation.
