LendInvest achieved a record December for originations last month – lending £83m to property investors, developers and landlords.

Following the month, the company has now lent over £1.7bn.

“This year the team have truly gone above and beyond in ensuring we are delivering the finance our borrowers need, at speed - our focus now is keeping this momentum going into 2019.”

The company added 13 new hires to the buy-to-let team in 2018, while it pledged to ramp up the recruitment drive in the new year by hiring more underwriters and business development managers.
