LendInvest appoints Dan Lohn to development finance team

With over a decade of experience as a development lender and a property developer, he will be joining the company’s property development team, helmed by industry veteran Steve Larkin.

As the UK property development market has potential for growth amidst the under-supply of new housing, the addition of Mr Lohn to LendInvest reaffirms the company’s commitment to supporting SME developers throughout the UK.

Dan Lohn, relationship manager at LendInvest, said: “After knowing Steve and his history in the industry, when he mentioned to me that there might be an upcoming opportunity at LendInvest, I was naturally intrigued.

After meeting the rest of the team and learning more about their goals and funding pipeline, it was an easy decision. I’m looking forward to bringing my unique perspective to the role. Having experience on both sides of a deal, it affords me a deeper understanding when it comes to taking a sensible approach and a more commercial view of the risks involved.”

Steve Larkin, managing director, Development Finance at LendInvest, added: “As more investors look to development finance as an opportunity amidst the undersupply of new home construction, it’s an exciting time for the industry in England, Scotland and Wales.

“Dan brings with him deep market knowledge as a lender as well as a developer; his insights and ambition will help support our SME developers as they navigate a dynamic market.”
