Oooh, back to 100% invested. I'm not on the right pc with my parsing script(my perl is rusty enough that I wrote my own version, not that I distrust dave but I like to understand enough about a script before I run it on a computer which logs onto financial websites) but the buys seem to be a range of WTs and a well known digester so I suspect my percentages are somewhat more spread than previously. I'll look to confirm. hopefully ! I believe midnight is the point at which the interest calculated from, ie using your holdings at that time.

It may be the early drawdown hasn't been spotted by some lenders, but loan 180 is now available. As one of the best (in wind resource terms) WT sites seen so far, with sound DSC/LTV etc cover I'm surprised immediate uptake wasn't larger. Have GEIA account holders received notification loan 180 is now available? If I was a GEIA lender I'd be upping my target considerably now. If a good number did so it could take a big chunk out of the loan very quickly, perhaps GEIA folk are just not used to this type of situation! Whilst nice to see some green pipeline I'd guess it's unlikely there'll be much, if any, of the 2 upcoming (much smaller) green deals available for GEIA accounts. Does AC time any GEIA marketing activities around new green loan releases? Maybe I missed it but I'm still not sure about how the budget change in the LEC (Levy Exemption Certificates) affects WT's. I should already know the answer to this. Perhaps others are holding back for this reason? In Edit. For the current N.I. proposal LEC's only produce about 1-2% of income. The valuation report goes to the extreme of ignoring them.

Perhaps the latest version of the algorithm has a fencepost error - it's left £1.00 awaiting withdrawal again. What's the situation now? Has Conway converted your fencepost into a wind-turbine?

Has the car showroom loan died a death, gone to that great car park in the sky?

Mind if I ask where the 11 figure comes from? Latest Activity post ‘The Borrower’s parent company has a further eleven sites to roll out over the next year or so, and successful financing of this loan will facilitate the opportunity for further loans of this size from this source.'There was a similar statement made with the N.Irish WT, which was never drawn.

A new release went live this morning which includes the following changes: - New 'Resource Centre' section - can be found under 'Quick Links'
'Quick links' being the very small unlabelled 3 bars in the top right corner of the dashboard next to account name. Probably me, but just taken quite a while to find where you meant. Any chance this button could be labelled ‘Quick links' to speed user navigation & site usability? Don't worry, when you're not logged in the "Quick Links" is at the top of the page, along with Investors, borrowers, contact. The only thing I noticed was the dates on the articles aren't consistent when you click thru' to the pdf. Also(?) there's nothing for this year.

Or where it's a seasonal business filling up the buffer when the times are good and then "having a preplanned payment holiday" when times are quieter.

500k in geia has been mentioned on a thread previously iirc. Back in Feb / March, I think, Stu of AC said Geia had broken thru the 1m barrier, which wasn't long after the 500k was gone thru.

Conway WT has had the call now too.
Being 950k I don't think it will sell out too quick.

I don't expect that you will be able to sell much of your locked in loans if you don't offer a discount. Fair point. I had mentally seperated the two parts, ie premium / discount and potentially impaired loans. Based on my wording though you comment is fair. I notice you say "premium / discount" I'm not convinced we will be able to put a premia on loan parts. I think when AC first started I think you could then, but that stopped a long time ago. The email only talked about a discount. Some think you should be able to put a premium on loans, my feeling is it can encourage short-termism. Perhaps when AC gets larger it might be appropriate within limits. I can see that it might help u/writers shift loans onto others who then try to sell using the premium to make a profit.

AC have the expertise, and I wish they would say what they would do if it was their money. Then we could benefit from their expertise, experience and much fuller knowledge of the loan and borrower's position. Or that AC would highlight some of the possible benefits or flaws of certain routes, there is a risk that it could be seen as advise which is later regarded as at fault. So perhaps AC could give some specimen cases of how in the past things were best negotiated & problems sorted so as to out to help the many newbies (like me) out there. Then again I could just go and read up about it...

I'm wondering why they need £100,000 to obtain all the necessary permissions. Does anyone know where all the money will go? (I had been considering the possibility of a potential smaller scale site as investment for myself, and had reckoned that planning costs had to come in at under £10,000 to make it economic.) With the current proposal on AC about a solar farm for 100k, I think some of this has to be accumulated cost so far that the directors have taken on board personally, so this old cost will be transferred, effectively, to the new co. The majority must be new costs with perhaps 20%(?) unspent that will be paid back at refinance, I'm wondering if they will be able to draw the whole sum all at once or present bills to the AC trust for the money as needed. I assume they will not be paying the interest monthly out of the loan amount; but from their own income. One thing most of the WT's talk about is easements. An easement often needs to be agreed for you to use / access others land either to build/maintain the site OR for the power cables to be laid to a suitable point, sometimes cabinets or similar need to sited for meters & connection I think. I recommend reading some of the WT's documents for the sp. From memory some WT's have taken a year before they get to the build stage, if issues kick in even longer. If I were setting up a renewable power site I would have a long running survey to check the wind speed/sunlight at the location, rather than use estimates which have been as much as 30% out.

The insurance will only cover malicious damage, an unlikely event. A deposit is desirable to cover accidental or careless damage which is far more likely. The extra rent will compensate to some extent. I am on the fence on this one. If you're on the fence you're the one causing damage that not the tenant.
