Property development funder hits £6 million with Crowdstacker

6th December 2019

Clearwell Capital, which provides finance to SME property developers has raised £6 million via a bond featured on the Crowdstacker investment platform. The investment offers two options to suit investor needs - a 7.25% p.a. option over 3 years and a 6.75% p.a. option over 18 months - both with interest paid monthly. The minimum investment is £250. As with any investing your capital is at risk when you lend to businesses.

The finance house, which helps developers ‘build everyday homes for everyday people’ has provided over £19 million in finance to support the construction of 578 homes in 58 different projects across the UK so far. Of these projects, 34 are now redeemed – meaning projects have completed and funds repaid back to Clearwell to be relent to new developments.

Plugging the property finance gap

“We’ve now hit the £6 million milestone which is great news for the small and medium-sized developers we work with,” explains Ed Marley Shaw, CEO of Clearwell Capital.  “Despite Government initiatives to help meet housing targets, developers are still struggling to access all the finance they need to deliver enough houses.”

Clearwell Capital aims to help developers bridge the funding gap between acquiring land, being granted planning permission and commencing the build, and the final sale of the completed properties.

“Clearwell Bonds has been a very popular investment on our platform. Although the minimum investment is £250, the average investment is much higher than this, and people have been using their ISA allowance to enjoy up to 7.25% p.a. returns offered, tax-free,” comments Karteek Patel, CEO of Crowdstacker.
