Looking to boost your balance sheet?

Looking for an investment opportunity, with less of the ups and downs of the stock market?

Octopus Choice lets your business target an interest rate of 4% gross a year by investing – alongside the First Loss – in a portfolio of loans secured against property.

money-time

Variable interest of 4% per year, paid monthly. You can even include it within your Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA), too.

Your money is at risk

Octopus Choice invests your money in loans to borrowers. We can't guarantee investors will get all of their capital back, or earn all of their interest.

building

All loans are secured against a property, which can be sold if a borrower can't repay the loan.

Property market exposure

If a property needs to be sold, the amount recovered could be affected by a downturn in the property market.

coins

The first 5% of every Octopus Choice loan is covered by First Loss, consisting of Octopus and an institutional investor. You'll get your money back before First Loss and earn your interest first too.

Instant access isn't guaranteed

Withdrawing means selling your investments to other investors. We'll aim to give you access quickly, but we can't make any guarantees.

stock

All loans are sourced by Octopus Real Estate, an experienced lender that has lent nearly £4 billion since 2009.

Your investment is not protected by the FSCS

Peer-to-Peer lending is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Your capital and interest are at risk.

Another way to make your money work harder

Let us do the hard work

We’ll build a portfolio for you. All loans on the platform are arranged by Octopus Real Estate.

You'll get diversification

Your portfolio will have diversification across a range of the following: geography, loan term, loan-to-value and borrower type.

It’s simple & flexible

Set up regular investments. Re-invest monthly interest. Ask to withdraw at any time.

Because your money is invested in loans, we can’t guarantee instant access. See our risk statement for more details.

Since 2009, Octopus Real Estate has lent £4.2 billion to landlords, property developers and property investors, and lost less than 0.02% (as of 31th August 2019).

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Your money helps property professionals do what they do best

Our borrowers tend to be property professionals who need fast and flexible lending decisions. Each and every one is thoroughly vetted by the experienced lending team, Octopus Real Estate.

All our loans are:

  • Asset-backed: secured against property
  • Conservative: maximum ‘loan-to-value’ ratio of 76%
  • Short-term: maximum term of five years
