CapitalRise surpasses £30m repayment milestone
CapitalRise has repaid more than £32m to investors since it launched in 2016, including over £27m since January last year.
The prime property investment platform said the average return on investment is currently 9.5 per cent per annum, with no investment losses or defaults recorded to date.
As of January 2019, just £5m had been paid out to CapitalRise investors, but less than 24 months later this figure now stands at over £32m.

Furthermore, CapitalRise achieved a record month in July in which it originated £10m worth of loans. Then in August the platform processed £4.1m in investments, up 222 per cent year-on-year.
CapitalRise said that during Covid-19 as other lenders withdrew from the market, the platform saw a 90 per cent rise in funding requests and loan volumes triple that of 2019.
The platform said so far this year it has successfully closed nine multi-million-pound deals across prime London and prime home counties.
