£300 Million Returned to Investors: CapitalRise Celebrates Another Major Milestone
CapitalRise is proud to announce that it has now successfully returned over £300 million in capital and returns to its investors since launching in 2016. This latest milestone reflects the continued strength and resilience of the prime property sector, as well as the continuing popularity of CapitalRise’s carefully selected investment opportunities.
This achievement follows a period of exceptional performance for the platform, with a record-breaking £100 million repaid to investors in just the last 13 months. It also comes after CapitalRise surpassed £500 million in total loan origination earlier this summer – underlining the firm’s strong track record in sourcing a robust and diverse array of investment opportunities.
A Testament to CapitalRise’s Investment Expertise
As prime property specialists – founded by experienced high-end developers – our ability to select quality deals for our investors has been central to reaching this milestone. Every investment opportunity undergoes a rigorous due diligence process, ensuring only the most compelling projects reach our investors.
We work with exceptional borrowers and fund developments backed by high-calibre real estate, in some of the UK’s most prestigious locations. Our loans are structured with prudent leverage and conservative LTVs, and each project is closely monitored by our in-house team and trusted third-party project monitors throughout its lifecycle.
While the prime property market has shown resilience, with continued demand for well-presented homes in sought-after areas, it is the strength of our origination, underwriting, and monitoring processes that truly underpin our ability to deliver consistent returns.
The firm’s commitment to transparency, rigorous due diligence, and hands-on project monitoring has helped it reach this £300m redemption milestone – maintaining an average annual return of 8.83% since inception in 2016.
A Diverse Range of Investment Opportunities
Recent investments that have been repaid – contributing to the £300m total – include:
- £7.3m loan to fund the development of the two detached dwellings in Marlow Hills, Buckinghamshire.
- £4.9m development loan to fund the construction of a large new-build, three-bedroom house set over three storeys in Chelsea, West London.
- £5m bridging loan allowing the borrower to prepare to renovate an existing 19th-century dwelling and construct four additional modern homes in Camberwell, South London.
These deals highlight the diversity of CapitalRise’s investment opportunities, demonstrating the platform’s ability to fund a wide range of projects – from ground-up construction to short-term bridging finance.
IFISA for Tax Free Returns
The platform’s Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA) remains a popular choice for those seeking tax-free returns, with the platform seeing a 48% increase in ISA cash under management in the two years to 31st July 2025. The minimum investment threshold of just £1,000 also offers accessibility for a broader range of eligible investors than prime property had previously allowed.
Looking Ahead to the Next Chapter
CapitalRise’s CEO and Co-Founder Uma Rajah commented:
“Reaching the £300 million redemption milestone is a proud moment for the entire CapitalRise team. It reflects not only the performance of our investments but also the trust our investors place in us. We remain committed to delivering exceptional opportunities in the prime property space and look forward to building on this momentum.”
Pip Lashko-Sayers, Director of Capital Markets, CapitalRise, added:
“This milestone is a testament to the strength of our borrower relationships and the quality of the projects we fund. With a strong pipeline and growing demand, we’re excited about what lies ahead.”
