WE BUILD
Since starting out in 2008 the project lent more than £3 billion of mortgages and has helped to put thousands of new or improved homes into the UK housing market. In that time project built a truly international capital base. Today, funders and investors include pension funds, insurers, and global institutions like HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, and National Australia Bank. And in 2019 we became the first UK Fintech to securitize a portfolio of buy-to-let mortgages. The product is multiple award-winning and has been proudly profitable since 2015.
