Consulco launches a new Investment Compartment offering high returns

Consulco Group of Companies, which boasts a significant presence in the alternative investments sector focusing on the UK, has recently announced the launch of a new Investment Compartment, namely Compartment C, of the London Credit Fund.

In an interview with InBusinessNews, Consulco’s Director of Investment Services, Michael Tannousis explains how Compartment C can offer safe investment options with high returns.

Can you tell us about the launch of Compartment C and what it means for investors?

Absolutely. We’re excited to introduce Compartment C of the London Credit Fund. This new compartment aims to provide investors with access to higher yield investment opportunities in the UK residential property development market. Given the increasing demand for new housing and the UK government’s push to accelerate housebuilding, development finance is more important than ever. Compartment C allows investors to participate in short-term lending secured predominantly against residential development projects in high-growth areas, such as Greater London and other major cities.

How does Compartment C differentiate itself from the other compartments of the London Credit Fund?

While Compartments A and B focus on participation in short-term lending predominantly secured against residential and commercial properties, respectively, Compartment C specifically participates in lending for refurbished and residential development projects in London and other major cities. This means that we are working with experienced developers to fund new small projects that align with London’s pressing housing needs. Compartment A targets returns of 5-6% for investments in Sterling and Dollar, and 4-5% for investments in Euro, while Compartment B targets returns of 6-7% to its Sterling and Dollar investors and 5-6% to Euro investors. Compartment C aims to offer even higher returns, ranging between 7-8% annually for its Sterling and Dollar investors and 6-7% annually for its Euro investors. The London Credit Fund is trusted by a diverse group of investors, including high-net-worth individuals, pension funds, banks, and insurance companies, who seek attractive investment opportunities in the UK real estate market.

What are the key investment criteria for loans under Compartment C?

London Credit, our UK based lender, applies a rigorous underwriting process to ensure the security and viability of all projects. Loans are secured against UK real estate, with a conservative Loan-To-Gross-Development-Value (LTGDV) ratio capped at 70%. We only finance business-purpose loans, avoiding primary residences, and work exclusively with qualified RICS valuers, UK-based solicitors, and experienced developers. Our investment strategy is designed to balance risk while delivering robust returns.

What makes London Credit uniquely positioned to offer development finance?

London Credit has been a trusted name in the UK property finance sector for over 14 years and has, to date, approved and granted over 616 short-term loans worth over £267 million. Our London-based lender’s expertise in structuring, underwriting, and servicing loans gives an edge in identifying high-quality lending opportunities. The loans within Compartment C are administered and managed throughout their entire lifecycle by London Credit, ensuring professional oversight and security for investors.

How does this investment compare to traditional real estate investments, and what should potential investors consider before committing?

Compartment C is designed for investors seeking high-yield opportunities with a structured, asset-secured investment approach. It offers more liquidity than direct property ownership, with structured exit strategies in 18 months. Unlike traditional property investments, it provides a well-balanced risk-reward profile with a strong due diligence process, experienced management, and an opportunity to participate in London’s thriving property development sector through a regulated fund with a minimum investment of €125,000 and a minimum lock-up term of 18 months. Redemptions occur with a 6-month notice and dividend payments are expected annually. Additionally, investors can benefit from exposure to the real estate market without the hassle of owning a property, dealing with tenants, taxes or maintenance.

How can interested investors get involved?

Investors can contact us directly at our offices in Nicosia or Limassol. Our team is available to provide comprehensive information on Compartment C and guide potential investors through the process. Having successfully operated since 2011, we have built a strong track record over the years. With the steady growth of the UK property market due to interest rates reductions, now is an opportune time for investors to benefit from this structure and enjoy higher returns in a short-term investment period, paid out annually.
