Christian Faes, co-founder and chief executive of LendInvest, said his firm has only scratched the surface of how technology will make mortgages a faster and more transparent consumer experience for borrowers and investors. A spokeswoman added that “taking our place in the mainstream buy-to-let market has always been part of our long-term business plan” and with Atomico’s backing “we’re closer than ever to that becoming a reality”. This move into the buy-to-let market is expected to happen “over time”, with the terms of products extending in length.
