We have been investing in the P2P industry almost since it started and have had some very good experience (well secured loans with excellent double figure returns) and some very bad experience (valuations which have been way off the mark resulting in significant losses when the loan has gone into default and the security property sold at a fraction of its originally purported value and certain platforms not even obtaining the security lenders were promised).
We have also witnessed the interest levels dropping substantially and a more recent trend towards much higher LTV loans (some as much as 75% LTV).
We are also wary of development loans which are based on LGDV, which is not something we are interested in. We would invest in the initial loan to purchase the site (providing its no more than 50% LTV) but we do not wish to get involved in the more risky development funding. Based on our experience to date, we are now only interested in loans backed by a first legal charge against property and with an LTV of 50% or lower.
Any recommendations would be welcome please.

CrowdProperty might be worth a look. They always have first charge and they do have some loans below 50% LTV.

Possibly Loanpad, their partners take the higher risk tranche and lenders get the lower risk, not sure of LTVs but a good cushion. Although a new platform.

Funding Secure have a few below 50% LTV with first charges with slightly lowered returns to reflect the reduced risks.
Although not with your initial criteria Welendus has no security but buys back any loan heading for defaults and currently pays accrued interest on these as a bonus. Effectively giving a full guaranteed.

Thanks godanubis we will take a look at those too. The Welendus one is different but certainly worth a look.

Hi Gon, British Pearl (https://www.britishpearl.com/properties) currently has 2 new investments with 50% LTV's on our site and one in our resale market with an LTV of 39.8%
