Loanpad is a newly launched peer to peer company offering property development loans. What makes Loanpad different is they source their loans through an experienced third-party lender. Loanpad holds the senior position on all loans, offers low loan-to-value ratios and pays daily interest which is great for people looking for income.
I was originally contacted by a Loanpad representative in early 2018 but had little knowledge of them. After further research, in August 2018 and January 2019, I visited with Loanpad’s CEO Louis Schwartz, an ex London city lawyer specialising in property and development transactions.
So far I’m impressed by Loanpad’s unique peer to peer lending product and I decided to invest.
