EstateGuru hits €30m lending milestone after record month
ESTATEGURU has hit the €30m (£27m) lending milestone, thanks to a record month in August.
The platform, which specialises in financing secured property loans in the three Baltic states but is open to UK investors, funded nearly €4m in August alone.
The company, which has attracted 7,900 investors from 39 countries, said on Wednesday that it is expecting strong growth in loan volumes due to expansion into new markets and establishing better processes in the Baltics.

Partel added that the firm is in ongoing discussions with institutional investors to cover the growing loan volumes.
EstateGuru has lent out €20m over the past year and has nearly 10m worth of loans in the upcoming loan pipeline, he said.
