About Proplend
Proplend is a Peer to Peer Lending platform that gives investors the opportunity to lend directly to borrowers where the loan is secured with a first legal charge over income producing UK commercial property.
Proplend originates the commercial property loans, conducts due diligence on the borrower, the property and the tenant – presenting all this information to investors via its online platform. This information is supported by third party valuations and legal reports.
Investors can then invest on a loan by loan basis depending on their return requirements and their attitude towards risk. Proplend pioneered the Loan Tranche Model*, allowing investors to choose loan investments that better suit their risk profile.
Commercial property debt is a long-established asset class that offers investors a reliable and attractive source of income with limited capital risk. Proplend is opening up this asset class to a wider range of investors who can all come together to lend to a single borrower.

Peer to Peer Lending
Peer to Peer Lending is an investment and not a savings product, it is therefore not part of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and your capital is at risk.
Proplend takes a first legal charge and retains six months interest reserve alongside other security and holds it in trust on behalf of its investors. In the event of a borrower default the property can be taken and sold in order to repay investors.
