LendInvest is the UK’s leading FinTech platform for property finance. Over the past 16 years, we have grown from just our two founders to a team of over 200 working to make property finance simple for everyone.

A workplace culture built around trying new things, getting things done, and having fun while we do it has helped us lend more than £7 billion of mortgages, put thousands of new or improved homes into the UK housing market, and successfully launch on the London Stock Exchange.
