It's been two weeks since LandlordInvest launched the secondary market, and it's proved very popular with our investors. Already, £104,100 secondary market sales have been completed.

The loan parts sold have been acquired almost exactly 50/50 by Standard and ISA account holders (£51,500 and £52,600, respectively). Investors with ISA accounts were responsible for the majority of sales, but at a lower average per-sale amount.

We'd like to thank the many investors who got in touch with us to provide feedback on the secondary market, and address two common themes below

Email notifications

We will soon be adding email notifications to let investors know when new loan parts have been listed in the secondary market. These notifications will be sent immediately each new loan part is listed. These notifications will be offered on an opt-in basis, and after the feature has been launched you'll see a switch to enable them on the secondary market page.

Ability to buy less than the full amount of the loan part offered for sale

A number of investors have wanted to buy less than the full amount of a loan part they've seen in the secondary market. Coming soon, the seller will be able to enabled this functionality on a per-loan part basis when creating their listings.

Buyers will be able to request to purchase these enabled loan parts for between £100 and the total value of the loan part, in increments of £1.

We will notify investors by email when these new developments have been launched.
