In the new world of peer-to-peer property lending,
experience counts.

Invest & Fund's story

We are a peer-to-peer marketplace helping individuals, high net worth lenders, private banks, family offices and institutions achieve attractive, risk-adjusted returns from residential development projects. Invest & Fund started with a problem to solve: how to make it easy and rewarding for individuals and institutions to lend to businesses looking for alternative high quality sources of finance.

Since late 2015 we have focused exclusively on supporting experienced developers and we aim to be the leading player in the residential development and bridging finance market. We have appointed a Board with substantial experience in senior banking, wealth management, property lending and peer-to-peer finance backed by a team of credit experts with deep experience in property development and credit risk assessment.

Today we are a team of 30+ Led by Chairman Robert Burgess and Co-Founder David Turner.

We are committed to being the UK’s residential development funding experts with first class credit assessment at the core of our model; in doing so helping individuals, high net worth lenders, private banks, family offices and institutions achieve attractive, risk-adjusted returns from successful residential development projects.
