FINANCIAL SERVICES DISTRIBUTED WITH The new alternative to buy-to-let


Some people believe that buy-to-let is no longer viable, so does alternative finance offer a better way to invest in property?


Over the past few years, property investors up and down the country have been hit by new legislation designed to ‘professionalise’ the private rental sector. Tese meas- ures, which include the additional 3% stamp duty on second homes and the removal of tax relief on mortgage interest payments, have resulted in many private landlords opting to sell up and to look for new, more produc- tive ways to invest in UK property. CrowdLords, which launched in


2015, is one such platform, estab- lished to offer all the benefits of investing in property without the hassle of sourcing, financing, marketing and managing a buy-to-let property. Many of the company’s investors claim that the returns for them are both higher and more predictable than when they ran their own buy-to-lets. CrowdLords is a property crowd-


funding platform that enables users to invest directly into property development projects and rental portfolios. Property crowdfunding, along with P2P lending, is part of the £4.6bn UK alternative finance sector, which, according to the industry research by the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, had grown by 43% during 2016. Two of the main benefits of alternative finance is choice and


diversification. Whatever your financial objectives, depending on your attitude to risk, you can now go online and find a property invest- ment, or better still a combination of investments, to meet your needs. It could be that you choose to take


part in a buy-to-let P2P loan at a low loan-to-value that might offer a 4% per annum return, or you could choose to buy shares in a residential development with projected returns of 20% per annum or more — it’s up to you. It’s because of the amount of


choice available that CrowdLords has decided to publish a guide to the various ways in which people can invest in property using alternative finance. It’s a great place to start if you’re new to it all.
