Capital Rise picks the right deals and has very fair and clear investment conditions. They are not seeking double digit interest bonds with disproportional risk but seeking a fair risk reward ratio.... See more

Hi Trevor,

It's fantastic to have you on board as an investor with us and that you have been happy with your experience so far.

Our founders actually invest alongside you, with their own personal funds, they invest these into every single CapitalRise project because they fundamentally believe in the investments.

We will be monitoring all our live loans very closely and we will continue to keep you updated on how your investments are progressing (we will send you quarterly updates), but we are also always here for you to contact us as well if you ever want to.

Thanks again for your lovely feedback.

I found CapitalRise to be a trustworthy…

I found CapitalRise to be a trustworthy and reliable investment platform that allowed me to invest in high end property with good returns. I read about their product in the Evening Standard and as someone who tries to find the best financial products on the market to maximise my returns I found this model of investment both appealing and a good place to invest my money. The information they provide is succinct and investors are notified if there are any delays to works being undertaken on properties through regular communication. There are risks with every investment but not many allow you to invest in the high end property market in such an accessible way.

Great Customer Service and Risk Adjusted Returns

Attractive risk adjusted returns backed with recall to properties, reassuring to know that if anything was to happen the property could be sold to return my capital. Appreciate the regular updates, about to invest in my fifth opportunity. Uma and Claire are always available to help and answer all my questions transparently and promptly. Keep those deals coming!

Hi Kate,

Lovely to hear from you and it's fantastic that you are about to invest in your fifth opportunity with us, it's like music to our ears!

Exactly right, the beauty of our product is that our property loans are secured (with either a first or second legal charge), and we have had no losses or defaults to date. It's great that you like the quarterly updates, we like to keep you updated throughout your investment with us while we are monitoring each live loan.

Thanks for your kind words and as always, we will continue to keep you updated on our next opportunity so keep your eyes peeled.

All the best,

Claire

Have just invested in my third deal…

Have just invested in my third deal through CapitalRise and absolutely love the platform! The team make the investment process so incredibly easy and transparent, I really couldn’t recommend it more. Knowing how much time and sweat they put into the due diligence of each deal makes me feel comfortable that my money is safe meanwhile earning market leading returns. I like to put a little bit of money in many deals rather than putting all eggs in one basket, just to diversify a bit. Can’t wait to see the next deal!

Hi Daniela,

So glad you have invested with us again, it's the best thing to hear! I will share your positive feedback with the team. Our team actually consists of a diverse range of individuals with backgrounds in property development, financial services and technology which we believe gives us an edge. Most property finance proposals we recieve do not actually pass the first stage of our stringent review process - only about 2% pass because we scrutinise every detail and only make the very best opportunities available to investors.


Diversifying makes complete sense and the best thing about our platfrom is that you make your own investment decisions based on your own risk appetite.


All the best,


Claire

Hi Matthew,

I'm delighted to hear that you have been happy with the returns we offer. We like to remain true to our goal of being highly selective and only letting the highest quality opportunities through and to date we have returned capital and return to our investors across 4 transactions with an average return of 9.5% - which we are very happy with. As I'm sure you know we pride ourselves on the high standards of our credit underwriting and due diligence processes.

Thanks for your positive feedback, it's what we like to hear.

We will of course keep you updated on our next opportunity as well.

Our investor experience is a hugely important factor to us and we like to keep investors in the loop on the progress of their investment from the outset of their investment and throughout. During your investment you will receive quarterly updates as well but of course in saying that we are always available on live chat, email or by phone if you ever want to chat about your investment with us.

Great to have you on board as a CapitalRise investor.

Deeply Concerning

Opportunities are few and far between. I haven't had any returns yet, so can't comment on that.
BIG CONCERN
When you transfer money in, it does not show up ANYWHERE in your account UNTIL the investment you have purchased has been drawn down.
I'd be curious to know the FCA view on this.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback is so important to us and as we are still in the growing stage feedback like this is like gold dust to us. At the moment we are currently targeting 2-5 investment opportunities a quarter, we pride ourselves on the high standards of our credit underwriting and due diligence processes. Having screened and not proceeded with over £1.4 billion opportunities in the last 6 months we believe we are being true to our goal of being highly selective and only letting the highest quality opportunities through. Unlike other platforms we focus on institutional grade real estate which results in us targeting a smaller number of much larger loans, our latest £4.9m raise being a good example of this.

Once we receive funds we do have to go through final checks required by the FCA, and once these are complete investors that pass these checks are included in the next batch of investments due to be transferred which are transferred weekly. We currently rely on email notifications to keep our investors updated when we receive their funds and when they have been invested. Just to let you know our product team are working really hard on implementing new features on the ‘My Account’ section of our platform. Within the next few months investors will have the functionality to instantly view their cash balances being held on the platform whilst queued for their next investment. Once these changes are in place, we have already lined up a small group of investors to test this to get their first hand feedback and we would love for you to be part of this group as well, if you would like to join of course.

Our aim is to communicate openly with investors from the point of investment right through to when their investment starts accruing returns and we do send emails updating investors throughout this process, but we will of course revisit these communications to see if these can be improved in any way until the additional features on our platform are implemented.

Thanks again for the feedback.

All the best,

Claire

Fantastic Product and Platform

A great platform that is not only stylish in design but incredibly easy to use. Customer service is incredibly quick to come back to any questions you may have. The properties that are on offer to invest in are of the best quality which represents the company as a whole. I would recommend to anyone new to investing.

CapitalRise is a wonderful product

CapitalRise is a wonderful product. You can invest in minutes and the quality of their properties and projects is by far the best I have come across. The underwriting they do is also the most thorough of any property crowdfunder out there. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Hi Patrice,

I'm delighted that you find our product wonderful, essentially what we are doing is disrupting the old ways of investing and cutting out the middle man so you can earn returns of 8-12%. We want to offer the best so with the industry experience that our credit committee have they make sure and scrutinise each deal and only select the best and in actual fact only 2% of deals are accepted. Our founders actually invest their own personal funds in every project because they fundmentally believe in them as well.

Thanks for your feedback I will make sure to share it with the team.

All the best,

Claire
