LendInvest, the London-listed specialist property lender trading under the ticker LINV, has reported record lending volumes and improving profitability for the period, defying a UK property market still contending with elevated interest rates, cautious mortgage approvals and subdued transaction volumes. The company's results show a business that has not merely weathered the downturn in mainstream mortgage lending but has actively capitalised on it, expanding its loan book while strengthening its funding lines at a time when many traditional lenders have pulled back from higher-risk segments of the market.
