LendInvest Announces FuM Increase to £5.44 billion
London, UK - January 26, 2026 - LendInvest, one of the UK's leading alternative property finance and asset management platforms, today announces that its Funds Under Management ("FuM") have increased to £5.44 billion.
The news comes as the business also announces a new £250 million bridging funding partnership with global asset-based private credit specialist, Castlelake, the latest in a number of recent funding initiatives.
LendInvest's Assets Under Management now stands at £3.61 billion (as of December 31st 2025), reflecting continued growth in lending activity, with total originations exceeding £9 billion since inception.
As at 31 December 2025, lending in the fourth quarter of the calendar year totalled £360 million, including £150 million originated in December alone.
Recent funding activity
The increase in FuM follows a number of funding initiatives completed by the Company since the end of its last reported period on 30 September 2025.
Most recently, LendInvest entered into a new £250 million funding partnership with Castlelake, supporting the Company's bridging proposition and providing additional flexibility for borrowers across the UK property investment market.The arrangement increases LendInvest's capacity for larger, more complex loans - including the ability to fund individual projects up to £15 million - while simultaneously unlocking a greater capability in regulated bridging loans and other areas such as Development Exit financing.
Earlier in the period, LendInvest launched a new £175 million development finance funding programme in partnership with AB CarVal and HSBC. The facility provides additional capacity to support the Company's development lending activities across the UK.
In October 2025, LendInvest Secured Income III plc issued an 8.25% Partially Guaranteed Bond (due 2030), with proceeds used to support ongoing lending activities and pay down debt. In addition, the Company completed its seventh Residential Mortgage-Backed Securitisation under the Mortimer programme in October 2025, a £310.6 million transaction backed by a portfolio of UK prime Buy-to-Let and owner-occupied mortgage loans.
Rod Lockhart, Chief Executive Officer of LendInvest, said:
"Reaching £5.4 billion in FuM and surpassing £9 billion of total lending since inception demonstrates that our strategy is delivering both scale and consistent growth across the business.
'That progress is supported by our proprietary technology platform, which underpins loan origination and operational efficiency and enables us to scale lending activity in a disciplined way, as reflected in our recent quarterly performance."
He added: "The breadth of funding we have secured across institutional partnerships, securitisation markets and retail investors reflects strong appetite for UK residential credit and for well-underwritten, scalable lending platforms.
"It is also a clear signal that the capital markets are ready to get the UK building. Now we just need the Government and the Bank of England to continue removing the structural and regulatory blockers that still slow property investors from getting homes built."
