LendInvest defies market headwinds with record £1.44bn lending year
LendInvest (LSE: LINV), a technology-backed specialist lender, has announced record lending momentum for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 (FY2026), driven by demand from professional landlords and developers despite a complex macroeconomic backdrop.
The firm originated a record £1.44bn in loans over the year, a 17% increase year-on-year, culminating in a record Q4 of £415m and a historic £196m in originations in March alone, leading to a 200% surge in adjusted EBITDA to $8.7 million. The momentum has continued into the new financial year, with LendInvest entering FY27 with its largest-ever lending pipeline and posting another record quarter of originations in Q1.
Rod Lockhart, CEO of LendInvest, said: “FY26 has been a landmark year for LendInvest. Our strategic transformation into a highly efficient, capital-light platform is now business as usual, and it’s driving record-level lending and powering a 200% increase in EBITDA to £8.7 million as our model scales.
These results show that, despite broader macroeconomic fluctuations and swap rate volatility, the appetite among professional landlords and specialist property investors remains incredibly resilient. Our brokers and borrowers are looking for speed, flexibility and certainty, which is exactly what our platform delivers.”
