Since we all like to occasionally flag up some Fairly Cherished new loan offerings, I thought I'd start a general thread.
My wing sail and a prayer offering of the day:
Loan ID: 33079
Borrower: A commercial ship broker
Loan purpose: There's a big deal on a new boat that should bring in some big dollar soon. The actual loan purpose isn't specified, so presumably it's as per the loan type, just working capital to see them through until payday. No loan, no ship's biscuit.
Credit score: Their credit score hit 10 in November, but then went up to 80 again in December - stormy seas indeed.
Company accounts: Overdue by 5 months (due on 30/09/2016), water on board, or all on an even keel?
Loan security: Not unless you consider a Personal Guarantee worth the paper it's written on.
Loan Term: 12 months, with a fair wind.
Loan rating: A+, what else?
Loan interest rate: 5.5% (4.5% after FC fees). The treasurechest.
Ahoy me hearties, all on board!

Fair play, I was looking at a secondary source (companycheck), so I guess I'll have to walk the plank..

New suggestion:- Short term Loan East London 1 number 3333.
Failed to repay any of the due capital in November 2016 on loan 11781 and no interest paid since then. Now offered by FC as a refinance loan of 6 months after attempt to get external finance failed.
Does this sound like a wonderful FC experience?
Autobid at your peril following the current Short term London Loan default shambles.

Please feel free to bid on this though as I have some of the loans to be refinanced

Autobid at your peril following the current Short term London Loan default shambles. I think I might look more askance at 33215, which in addition to the development loan includes £600k of equity release on the land value to pay off another facility. One wonders why the borrower has an outstanding loan - is there an incomplete (and overrunning?) development project hiding somewhere, or is he paying off the mortgage on his own home? (In the latter case I think he'd be better off paying off the mortgage with the profits of this development rather than paying a higher interest rate to FC, so I think it's unlikely to be the latter.) If it was the just the building costs being financed the LTV would be under 40% and I'd might break my policy of not lending on London and Surrey property. (Except that the tranche filled while I was researching traffic on the adjacent rail line.)

I think so - Surrey, like London, has property at eye-watering prices.

As with all home-county areas, there are better areas and cheaper areas. It's in the SE, so you're never going to have ABSOLUTE cheapness, but it's certainly no different to anywhere else within easy commuting distance of London.

(Except that the tranche filled while I was researching traffic on the adjacent rail line.) I don't do London loans either. Is Surrey higher risk too? My issue with London properties is that the valuations seem to be very speculative. A few years ago the market was crazy, put a property on the market for £500k, and buyers would literally be falling over themselves offering OVER the asking price. I worked in London at the time and the mentality of people was buy at any price, i genuinely heard of somebody that put in an offer of £50k over the asking price and was outbid by somebody else! This is no longer the case, although prices are still crazy. The risk with the above mentality is it makes valuation very hard and easy for there to be speculative valuations. I sometimes think the valuations are just trying it on, when you hear of a couple of flats above a shop in a pretty dodgy area going for a few million you wonder, is this sustainable, is there any justification for the prices? Well the only justification for property prices is what other people have paid, and yes people have paid some very high prices for some not great properties in dodgy areas. I think the London market is definitely more at risk of a sharp correction though.

So how is the Capital to be repaid at the end of the loans? .... as the Financial Summary says, by refinancing with a BTL lender. What's the problem with that?

What's the problem with that? and the healthy chunk of equity we are being offered as security makes this (in my opinion) a highly investable loan - unlike the vast majority on offer.

Point taken.
It still does not guarantee that all these new loans will eventually be capable of being refinanced.
