If I remember rightly this was one of their poster properties that they used in their advertising to lure investors in. If I'm right that makes this shortfall/loss extra embarrassing for them. The loan to value of 70% reads like a joke now. As it turns out, the LTV was 233%. It would be nice to think that Lendy were embarassed or ashamed of themselves, but given their recent offerings they strike me as totally unrepentant.

Lendy do not care as it is not their money. The property was valued at 3.5M in the event of it being auctioned, and the default loans usually are, so the lending was 100 % LTV pretty much. Lendy have learned nothing as they have just done it again with the white hart hotel. valued at 750,000 but at auction will achieve about 300.000 max. The loan was also lent at 100% purchase price. The valuation is way over its worth in reality.

Well done Lendy for putting out an update on this loan as soon as they knew the outcome of the auction. Let have more of these timely updates and not just waiting for the usual fortnightly postings.

lendy and their valuers are not bothered about this disgraceful episode as they have lost nothing and i feel that this is only the start as all the other DEF and SUS loans come to their final passing. lest not forget .can we believe any thing lendy now come up with.sooner or later they will have to answer for their complete disregard and arrogance to feed us complete and utter false/ made up valuations and BS to get us to fund loans that they know will not come to fruition.but by then they are throwing out the next lot of loans knowing that the next lot of new investors[gamblers] are going to take the bait and BS they give as gospel.it is time that this forum got together and demanded a showdown at lendy towers and sent our main men to see is really going on and exactly who is doing what with OUR money .

Perhaps, but it's just a calming measure for the maddened crowd. This is standard stuff, almost surely to be followed up with a capital loss for your tax returns at some time in the future. Borrowers like this don't have assets or cash sitting around waiting to be taken, not usually at least. But I'm not in this loan and I'm still in Lendy. I knew this was coming at some point, but I'm keeping calm and carrying on with loans I'm happy to hold. We all surely knew that the claim that no lender ever lost a penny was unsustainable, right? What really does take the mickey though is a current offering of a field in which to build a castle, one there does not seem to be any demand for. Unless I'm missing something, that loan suggests Lendy really haven't learned too much.

Presumably Lendy have shrugged and asked: "What didn't these people understand about "Your capital may be at risk" "

all those newspapers that covered to forthcoming auction should now do a follow up story on the dangers of ptop and focus on Lendy and FS performance

Around the time this Loan was offered serious questions were already being asked on here about worthless Valuations and LTVs. Maybe now there will be a deluge of Official Complaints to Lendy (and Other Platforms), RICS, The FCA, and your Member of Parliament. This "VR/LTV Industry" urgently needs national coverage and exposure. PS / EDIT: Some nice litigation would be best.

By the evidence of lack of calls when encouraged recently on another platform I suggest people CBA to send a formal complaint to the guilty platforms. They prefer to vent importantly on here instead and thus put up with carp (sic) service. Contact with the platform must be done before the financial ombudsman can be contacted. Come on peeps, it's not that hard to write a formal email of complaint about valuations and send it to platforms. Cite evidence in your letter not emotions. S
