Property Investment FAQs

DISCLAIMER:
Each investment is different, and PropertyIndex would strongly recommend you seek independent financial advice beforehand.

This is based on a Loan Note perspective - every investment has a different information memorandum.

WHAT IS A LOAN NOTE?

A Loan Note is a legally binding agreement which evidences the existence of a debt between a borrower (issuer) and one or more lenders (loan noteholder(s)) and the promise by the Issuer to repay the amounts outstanding under the Loan Note to the Loan Noteholder(s). It provides details such as the Loan Note amount, repayment dates and terms.

HOW IS A LOAN NOTE DIFFERENT FROM A LISTED COPRORATE LOAN NOTE OR GOVERNMENT LOAN NOTE?

Loan Notes are effectively a private borrowing agreement between a company and an investor that cannot be transferred to someone else. In contrast, retail corporate Loan Notes and government gilt-edged securities are freely tradeable instruments. Loan Notes are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. While safeguards are in place, the FCA is very clear that every investor should be aware that their capital is at risk.

HOW IS THE INVESTMENT SECURED?

The investment is secured by way of a legal charge over The Property in discussion.

WHO CAN INVEST?

Any individual who is over the age of 18, or a trust, company, the retail sector or charity that is not prevented by the laws of its governing jurisdiction from applying for or holding Loan Notes.

Investors must also fall within one of the following categories:

(i) certified high net worth investors (as per COBS 4.7.9R);

(ii) certified sophisticated investors (as per COBS 4.7.9R);

All of your original investment is expected to be returned in full at maturity of the Loan Note.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE LOAN NOTES ARE OVERSUBSCRIBED?

Once the value of the Loan Note is reached, no further Loan Notes will be issued.

IF I DIE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO MY INVESTMENT?
