In this episode, Mike Bristow, Founder of the UK’s leading property peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform, Crowdproperty, and Anna Clare Harper discuss why high rates don’t always mean high risk when it comes to property lending, and how peer-to-peer (P2P) is disrupting traditional bank finance.
As a registered chartered accountant, Mike also sits on the investment committee of proptech venture capital business Property Innovation Labs (Pi Labs), and is an angel investor in leading proptech and fintech businesses.
Highlights of the episode include:
- How tech is an enabler for solving problems in property and finance, and the importance for great proptech and fintech businesses of focusing on ‘holes’, not ‘drillbits’
- How investors (both lenders and borrowers) can understand and manage risks in P2P lending
- How the uncertain environment around Covid-19 has created an opportunity for P2P lenders to prove their point, and continue to disrupt traditional big bank lending in real estate.
