Always excellent service

Always excellent service, with prompt allocation of funds for investment and prompt repayment on redemption. We invest with confidence because we have had no defaults on any loans.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the fabulous review, I will make sure to share with the wider team - I'm sure you already know this but we have a refer a friend scheme where if you invite an eligible friend to invest with us, you'll each earn 1% of the value of their first investment. Let me know if you have any questions about this, I'm happy to walk you through it and how it works if needed.

Many thanks,

Claire

I would just mention as well that as part of our COVID-19 impact mitigation procedures, all loans and security packages are under enhanced monitoring scrutiny by our Lending team, and we will of course continue this and make sure we keep investors updated about their investments with us.

Hope to speak again soon.

Best and proven property crowdlending platform out there

I have been with the platform from the very beginning and invested into several dozen opportunities - all successfully, without any hick ups so far, delivering a strong, tax free return in the IFISA.

capitalrise have come a long way and originated consistently, providing full transparency on all deal documents so you can go as detailed as you want, and also providing detailed updates along the way for every investment.

it is a great platform and claire is the best! best regards, Hannes

Wish I knew much earlier!

Very happy with my 1st investment. Would have been 5 stars but investment redeemed early (which in one sense a good thing) but no available opportunity to invest in so fund is not generating interest at the moment.

All round good platform to use

All round good platform to use, couldn't really be much easier to invest.

Good returns at over 8% as well so I will definitely continue using these guys.

The only minor issue for me is I have missed out on a couple of investment opportunities that have been first come first served even though I have tried to invest within the first few minutes of it going live. I think there are sometimes investment limits to prevent this happening now but a recent opportunity was fully funded within the first couple of minutes I think which was disappointing.
I will be quicker next time though.

Hi Ron,

We're delighted to hear that you found the platform easy to use, our product team will be very happy to hear this.

I'm sorry to hear that you missed out on recent investments, we have a number of deals in the pipeline and our aim is to concentrate on deal flow, so that we have a number of deals on a platform at any given time, as typically there is plenty of opportunity for investors to participate in these large raises. We will of course continue to keep you updated about these upcoming investments.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to leave us a review.

Great investment platform

Great returns, particularly compared to the current financial period. The portal is very complete and communication is amazing - new opportunities are explained in a very detailed way, and active investments are followed up by regular updates. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for such a great review Renato, it means a lot to us. It's so good to hear you like the fact that our investment pages are detailed, at the end of the day, it' so important for you as an investor to be able to make an informed decision to decide whether you want to invest in an opportunity, and it's so good to hear you like how we portray the investment information. We like to be open and transparent with investors keeping them updated throughout their investment, so I'm so glad to hear you like the fact that we do this.

Many thanks for your support and have a lovely weekend.

Hi Roberto,

Thanks for your feedback it's super useful to receive.

We are currently exploring a number of options to make it simpler for investors to secure an allocation in our investment opportunities. Functionality similar to auto-investing is an option we are considering but we want to be sure it is the best way for CapitalRise members to invest on the platform.

We've already discussed options with investors and we will take these comments onboard also. I will ensure to keep you updated with these developments. Our Product Team would more than welcome your input in the design if you'd like to be involved.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Hats off to the company as a whole

Hats off to CapitalRise. The team have simplified key information to a level of clear spoken English (i.e. no jargon which seems to be the norm nowadays) without compromising the level of information required to make a clear decision for investing. Liaising with the team members is very fluid and efficient. All in all, fantastic and look forward to future investment opportunities. Thank you CapitalRise.

Hi Mazin,

Thanks so much for your amazing feedback, as we offer an auto selection model, it's so important that the information about the investment opportunity is clear and investors are able to understand it and on this basis then make an informed decision whether to invest. Of course we are always here as well to answers any questions about the opportunities so feel free to ask , but I am delighted with your excellent feedback, it means a lot to us.

Over the coming months we hope to make more investment opportunities available on our platform, while at the same time remaining true to our goal of being highly selective and only letting the highest quality opportunities through.

Have a great weekend and hope to speak soon.

Hi Jay Kay,

We are delighted to receive your feedback, it's so good to hear comments like these. Our lending team do assess a lot of opportunities but not all of them make it through stringent selection process. We focus on four key areas when we do select our investments which are: the borrower, the property and the market, the business plan and the financials. We continue to pride ourselves on our high standards of our credit underwriting and due diligence processes, so I'll definitely make sure to pass your comments back to our lending team, I'm sure they would be thrilled to get this feedback.


Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to share your kind words.
