Traditional lending is in crisis: SME property professionals are struggling to access the finance they need, and investors are receiving inferior rates of interest due to high overhead banking costs.
CrowdProperty’s founders built our business to tackle these fundamental issues. We provide quick and easy finance to property professionals whilst giving investors inflation-beating interest, all whilst meeting the rising demand for quality residential housing in the process.
Our founders are leaders in the property industry. Using their experience, we ensure we select and oversee only the very best projects for investment. We use our advanced technology to pair investors directly with borrowers so we all share in projects’ success, keeping true to the original fair ethos of peer-to-peer lending.

Founded in 2014, we have swiftly become one of the UK’s leading property specialist peer-to-peer lenders, facilitating millions of pounds worth of short term loans to SME property professionals.
CrowdProperty has been FCA authorised and regulated since the 1st November 2017 having proven that our process are robust, our platform stable and our due diligence rigorous, as well as confirming our commitment to transparency and client focus. In September 2018 we became a member of the Peer-to-Peer Finance Association, elected by the biggest and most reputable platforms in the sector for our exemplary operating process. We continue to invest across all levels and functions of the business.
Our founding team shares almost 100 years’ property experience and have their own extensive property portfolios. Our critical edge is that we understand the intricacies of projects and developments, which enables us to complete stronger, quicker and more relevant due diligence and to lend more on occasion than traditional lenders.
“Our experience gives us a critical edge in truly understanding our customers and their needs, especially as surprisingly few lenders in both the traditional and peer-to-peer markers have direct, hands-on experience in what they’re lending against and where they have, not many are independent of the projects offered. Our investors and borrowers tell us that it is our expertise and track record that keeps them coming back to us.”
“We take protecting our investors’ money very seriously; we take first legal charge on all properties we list on our platform; and we oversee and have the option to manage all projects until completion. This is part of our CrowdProperty Shield, with our three tiers: rigorous due diligence, 1st charge security and unparalleled expertise, together with our 100% payback track record we give our lenders the confidence they need to invest."
“It has been our strategy, right from the outset, to provide a simple, ethical, transparent and fair way for everyone to improve their future through property development. The exponential growth of CrowdProperty is showing that more and more people are seeing how we can help them achieve that.”
