Executive Summary
Executive Summary
• LendInvest is the UK’s leading online marketplace for property finance.

• The company provides finance to property professionals, and provides a platform for sophisticated investors and
multinational institutions to invest in property-backed loans.

• Since 2008, LendInvest’s investors have invested almost £1 billion in loans to borrowers who have bought, built or
renovated over 4,000 properties worth in excess of £1.7 billion in over 120 UK towns and cities.

• Having built a market-leading position in short-term property finance, the next step in the group’s evolution is to
enter the UK buy-to-let market.

• Following over a year of planning and market research, LendInvest is now ready to bring its buy-to-let mortgage
product to market and raise institutional funding to finance the growth of the product.

Future Strategy
LendInvest’s Key Strategic Objectives LendInvest’s Annual Origination Targets
1. Lend more, sustainably
Product 2017 2018 2019
2. Be the preferred lender for its target customers and brokers
Bridging 400m 600m 850m
3. Be technologically innovative and data driven
4. Be the preferred channel for access to mortgage investments Development 150m 250m 450m
5. Be funded by diverse, flexible and sustainable capital BTL 20-50m* 150m 280m

Why BTL?
• Strategic alignment – entering the BTL market achieves several strategically aligned objectives for LendInvest.
• Diversification – removing the reliance on LendInvest’s short-term bridging product.
• Opening up a new borrower base – enabling stronger cross-selling opportunities by tapping into a new market of clients that previously may not
have borrowed from LendInvest. Complementing this point is the sheer size of the BTL market – at c.£40bn annually, LendInvest will only need to
capture a very small share of the market to gain significant benefit for the business.
• Synergies with short-term property finance – the BTL product serves as a natural exit route for the 50% of LendInvest’s short-term bridge
borrowers that refinance, hence offering BTL mortgages strengthens LendInvest’s core value proposition by owning more of the supply chain.
• Lending more, sustainably – the duration of BTL mortgages enables LendInvest to grow its loan book in a sustainable way. The BTL product is a very
professional, yet commoditised, less bespoke product, enabling scale to be achieved quickly.
• An opportunity to innovate – the BTL market offering is, in LendInvest’s opinion, broken. Inefficient processes, limited technological influence /
adaptation, and overall poor customer experience offer LendInvest an opportunity to innovate.

* BTL origination in 2017 depends on timing for closing of funding and the launch of the product

• The BTL market is facing three key headwinds:

• the additional 3% Stamp Duty Tax surcharge for purchases of rental properties and second homes that was implemented in April 2016;

• tighter Prudential Regulation Authority requirements, including (but not limited to) interest rate stress tests, which came into effect in January
2017; and

• the tax relief cap which will take effect from April 2017 (tax relief on mortgage interest payments will be capped at 20% by 2021), causing many
lenders to underwrite at a higher minimum ICR of 145% as standard.

• LendInvest’s product will be primarily aimed at Limited Companies / LLPs, enabling it to focus on professional landlords who are less affected by these
headwinds – for example, Limited Companies are not affected by the new cap on income tax relief for mortgage interest payments.

• A leading BTL lender predicted there would be increased remortgage demand in 2017 as landlords look for the best mortgage to fit their circumstances
following regulatory and tax changes, with 60% of applications for BTL mortgages being via limited companies in Q3 2016.

• To meet the business’s origination plan, LendInvest will only need to achieve <1% of the annual BTL mortgage market.

Origination
Routes to Market
• Mirror existing distribution strategy – nearly all of LendInvest’s existing intermediary partners do specialist BTL alongside short-term property
finance, so no new distribution relationships are required to launch the product.
• The BTL book will have a higher proportion of smaller loans outside of London and the South East compared to short-term property finance –
origination of these will be supported by changes being implemented to lower the fixed cost of mortgages across LendInvest’s product suite (e.g. using
lawyers outside of London), as well as new Business Development Manager hires (see page 29).

qualified valuer who is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and on the LendInvest Valuers Panel. In Scotland
this may take the form of a Scottish Home Report (Single Survey).
• BTL portfolios will be normally valued by specialist valuers.
• The valuer carrying out this report must be familiar with the area that the property is located in (the property must be within 25 miles of
their permanent location).
• Valuation would be performed using the comparable method and would include all of the following:
• Valued on a current ‘as is’ basis, with no assumptions for anything other than the current status quo for the property;
• A 90 day valuation figure for the property;
• A market rental valuation for the property;
• An insurance reinstatement value for insurance purposes of the property, taking account of site clearance and VAT;
• Internal and external colour photographs of the property;
• Copy of current Professional Indemnity Policy if not already supplied;
• List of comparable evidence (providing at least 3 comparables); and
• The valuation must be carried out in accordance with the LendInvest Valuers Guidance Notes.

Third Party Servicing – Pepper UK


• LendInvest has appointed Pepper UK, trading as Engage Commercial (hereafter ‘Pepper’), as its third party servicer to undertake primary servicing and early arrears
servicing activities on all bridging and development loans (LendInvest’s existing short-term property finance business). Special servicing on these loans is currently
undertaken by LendInvest.
• Pepper is a leading third party servicer, managing over £8.0bn (as at Oct 16) of residential and BTL mortgages on behalf of international investors and UK retail banking
clients. It is backed by Pepper Group, an Australian consumer finance business, third party servicer and asset manager which has been operating for over 15 years.
• Partnering with Pepper will help LendInvest to scale up effectively – Pepper can help manage the growing loan book in the most efficient way and has capabilities in
both unregulated and regulated lending, meaning it can support LendInvest’s growth ambitions across its current and potential future products.
• Appropriate controls, SLAs and mandates are contractually agreed between LendInvest and Pepper to ensure appropriate handling of all LendInvest loans – this is
detailed in LendInvest’s Loan Servicing Manual.
• Pepper will undertake all activity through a ring-fenced team on a “white label” basis in order to appear as LendInvest at all times, ensuring the best customer journey.
• Buy-to-let Loans will follow a similar route but special servicing (i.e. servicing of later arrears and defaults) will be carried out by Pepper – however, any legal / LPA
action will only be taken with LendInvest’s consent (the Head of Credit and Servicing Manager would authorise such actions).
• Pepper use the Caseman system for loan servicing, which is in-house software linked to the Phoebus platform (a market-leading third party servicing platform).

Arrears & Special Servicing
Arrears
• Pepper will initially monitor account payment records so that arrears will be identified within 2 working days of occurrence.
• Where possible, unregulated loans in arrears will be serviced in line with regulated loans.
• First Notice Letter:
Within 10 working days of the initial occurrence of a payment shortfall the borrower will be issued with the First Notice letter. This letter can be issued by email or post
and will contain a copy of their post completion letter and the Money Advice Service “Problems Paying Your Mortgage” booklet.
• Second Notice Letter:
Further contact will be attempted with the borrower through telephone and/or email. Within 15 working days of the arrears, if the arrears balance is still outstanding
or no agreement has been reached, then a Second Notice letter will be issued either by email or post enclosing a copy of the FCA Information Sheet on Arrears, a Tariff
of Mortgage Fees & Charges and a current mortgage statement. Further follow up contact will be made to try and resolve the outstanding payments until the account
reaches 3 months in arrears.
• Quarterly Statements:
Quarterly Statements will then be issued to all borrowers until such time that the arrears are repaid. Following the statement being issued with the Second Notice
Letter (or first if an agreement is reached), a statement will be issued to every loan in arrears during January, April, July and October every year.

Special Servicing
• On all BTL loans, if a second interest payment is not made, or the total payment shortfall is equal to or above two months interest, the account will enter special
servicing and be dealt with by the Pepper special servicing team.
• With an arrears balance equal to or greater than 3 months of interest the loan will be considered in pre-default and a review for the possible instruction of solicitors will
be considered in consultation with LendInvest.
• Where appropriate, Pepper / LendInvest will give consideration to resolving the borrower’s position by implementing forbearance options in line with the borrower’s
circumstances and the CML Buy-to-Let arrears statement of practice.
• Default definition: For the first three months Pepper and LendInvest work with the borrower to reach a payment agreement. If the loan becomes 3 months in arrears,
a notice of potential enforcement is sent (10 days after three months). If there is no response, LendInvest formally enforce 14 days after three months and at this point
the loan is declared in default. However, if the borrower is working with LendInvest, and the loan is 3+ months in arrears, LendInvest would not formally put it in default
as this is viewed as a measure of last resort.

46
Recovery Process
• LendInvest will ensure that litigation action is only ever taken as a last resort, and only when all other options have been exhausted. Therefore, if the
loan account is in Default, a review must be undertaken by a member of the Servicing team who is fully aware of the facts of the case to consider if there
is a mutually agreeable proposal for the clearance of the arrears, or an exit strategy within a reasonable period of time.
• This review must be approved by the Head of Credit / Credit Committee prior to action being taken.
• In the case of unregulated Buy-to-Let (BTL) loans, if there is a case of immediate prejudice to either the property or to any occupant at the property,
litigation proceedings may be expedited. It is also recognised that it is sometimes in the interests of the tenants to act more quickly, for example if the
borrower has disappeared and cannot be traced.
• Any litigation action taken on a BTL loan will be done so with consideration to any tenancy agreement that is in place and whether that tenancy is
authorised.
• Any action will be taken in accordance with the relevant legislation and Receivers will not automatically be instructed following Default.
• If LPA Receivers of Rent (Receivers) are to be instructed, a Formal Demand must be issued by solicitors at least 10 working days before the
appointment of a Receiver can be considered. Once instructed the tenant and/or occupier will be informed of the appointment and its implications by the
instructed panel Solicitor. The LPA Receiver of Rent role would be undertaken by Pepper for BTL mortgages.
• The Receivers will communicate with LendInvest directly, but act under an “arm’s length” agreement as the Receiver will be the agent of the borrower and
not LendInvest. The Receiver will produce an exit strategy on the security property for LendInvest’s consideration and approval.
• Before bringing action for possession, LendInvest (or the appointed Receiver) will attempt to identify all tenants/occupants and the nature of their interest
in the property.
• Following possession of the property, the Receivers will liaise with LendInvest’s empanelled solicitors and the appropriate asset manager to ensure that
the security is disposed of in a timely manner, at the best price. The instructed asset manager will recommend if the property should be sold with or
without vacant possession to achieve the best return.

48
Provisioning Policy & Write Off Process
• Loans which are identified as having suffered an impairment event are identified by the Credit Risk department, and listed the month before quarter-end.
Impairment events include:
• Where there is a default position equivalent to two or more missed monthly repayments and the LTV of the underlying security as at the current date
is 75%+ (and 80%+ for BTL);
• Where loans have accrued interest and the LTV of the underlying security is 75%+ (only applies to short-term property finance loans where interest
may be rolled up or retained);
• Where loan term has expired and the current LTV of the underlying security is 75%+ (and 80%+ for BTL) or there are other factors which provide
evidence of impairment;
• Where litigation proceedings have commenced;
• Where there has been an act of insolvency, e.g. bankruptcy, administration or liquidation, or appointment of an LPA Receiver; or
• Where there is evidence of fraud or a previously unidentified issue that adversely impact the loan.

• Current loan provisions are £1.44m on the loan book of £300m, based on a formal provisioning model that has been signed off by LendInvest’s auditors.

• Recovery action undertaken after a loan shortfall has been crystallised:


• Following sale of the security, if a net loss has been incurred, the case is passed to a DCA (currently Moorfields) for formalised shortfall debt recovery
– only if it is established that this recovery action has no chance of success will the loan shortfall be formally written off. During this period the
outstanding shortfall debt is included in the provisioning routine.
• The Head of Credit will submit a recommendation to the Credit Committee to write off any shortfall debt that cannot be pursued by the DCA.

Financial Performance
• The LendInvest group structure was formed in July 2015 and reports under consolidated IFRS accounting.

• The business doubled in FY 2016 reflecting the investment in origination infrastructure (teams, systems, broker relationships) co-
ordinated with significant new funding lines coming on stream.

• FY 2017 reflected significant investment in the marketplace lending infrastructure (technology build, regulatory, marketing) in H1 2017
resulting in H1 2017 loss from operations of £1m. H2 2017 profit from operations was just over £1m reflecting strong lending growth
from new product launches as well as a return towards normalised OpEx spend.

• FY 2017 also saw the repayment of LendInvest’s Series A investment from Kunlun, resulting in the associated payments of preference
dividends / shareholder interest stopping in March 2017.

• FY 2018 starts the year with a strong loan book of £325m which, together with a strong lending product suite, returns the group to high
year-on-year growth in loan book revenue and profit from operations. Increased lending in longer term products (particularly
development finance and BTL) will support faster loan book growth going forward.

• OpEx growth is more modest, reflecting the discontinuance of marketplace lending one-off costs and the scalability of LendInvest’s
technology and servicing infrastructure across a larger revenue base.

53
Availability of Equity
• The group currently has net worth of £8.5m, of which £6.5m is currently invested in fixed assets, working capital and funding lines, leaving
cash of approx. £2m.

• LendInvest plans to restructure its investments in working capital and funding lines (which include loans currently funded by equity that
can instead be funded from alternative sources) to provide £2.5m for the BTL equity requirement, which would be sufficient to cover the
initial equity requirement for the BTL funding line over the first 9 months (up to a £50m loan book).

• LendInvest is also currently in the process of raising equity from interested parties. While at very early stages, it is clear what the raise is
for, with the process already having been kicked off with numerous parties interested, under NDA and in Data Rooms.

• Furthermore, LendInvest has received a commitment from an existing equity partner that sufficient funds will be available to fund the
equity in the funding line, to support the growth of the BTL product.

• FYE Mar-18 profit before tax is forecast to be £8.1m and FYE Mar-19 profit before tax is forecast to be £19.6m. The remainder of the
equity requirement to achieve a £200m BTL book is therefore forecast to be available through retained profits.

• LendInvest can confirm that none of the BTL equity contribution will be raised through the online investor platform.

Funding
Senior & Mezzanine Funding Requirement
• Initial financing requirement of £50-75m, increasing to c.£200m over the next 24 months.
• Achieving a 95% advance rate is a key target for the financing.
• Sufficient equity is available for the remaining 5% in the initial financing requirement, and further equity will be raised if required to
support growth to the target book size (see overleaf).
• LendInvest would also be interested to understand how your institution could support with a public securitisation in the medium term.
• Please see the Appendix for Heads of Terms proposed by LendInvest.
