Of course, LendInvest sees opportunity for additional customers for their online financing services.

LendInvest shares that Tom Bloxham, MBE will be the after dinner speaker for day one of the two-day course. Bloxham is the founder of property development firm Urban Splash and was awarded the MBE for services to architecture and urban regeneration in 1999.

Steve LarkinSteve Larkin, Director of Development Finance at LendInvest, called the line-up of speakers absolutely first rate.

Other speakers at the first LendInvest Academy include:

Additionally, the Home Builders Federation and the British Property Federation will be in attendance.

The course is designed to help would-be developers build the skills they need to complete projects. The UK is in the midst of a housing gap that will take years to address. Excessive demand is reflected in the high cost of residential housing.

LendInvest reports that the first course was eight times oversubscribed. LendInvest will announce further course dates in London and other UK cities in early 2017.
