How it works

Stage 1: Assessment

Upon decision in principle (DIP) approval, your client support manager will request funds for KYC and credit checks.
Your lending manager will introduce themselves and discuss the proposal.
Your lending manager will issue a conditional offer, pending valuation and request an commitment fee.

Stage 2: Validation

Upon acceptance, we’ll secure valuation quotes and instruct a valuer.
Offer adjustments may follow upon receipt of valuation report.
Your client’s project will go to our investment committee for final approval and we will issue a formal offer.

Stage 3: Completion

Parties instruct legals. CrowdProperty hires surveyor for initial project report if needed.
Legal due diligence is undertaken and the loan agreements are signed.
Formal completion, initial funds released; drawdown timeline set.
