Log in to, or register for a LandlordInvest Standard account, click on the Innovative Finance ISA link and complete the ISA application page. Once complete you can deposit funds using a bank transfer and invest in available loans.
When you set up your LandlordInvest Standard account, we conduct full Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti‐Money Laundering (AML) checks to validate your identity and address. In addition to this process, to set up an ISA you will need to provide your National Insurance number which is used by LandlordInvest for HMRC reporting.
You must be at least 18 years old and be a UK resident with a UK bank account to open an Innovative Finance ISA.
Yes, LandlordInvest’s property-backed IFISA is flexible. This means that you can replace, in whole or in part, cash you have withdrawn, without the replacement counting towards your subscription limit for a tax year. According to ISA regulations:
The rules on flexible ISA are complex and you should take independent advice or consult the HMRC helpline if you are in any doubt as to the extent to which you can withdraw and replace funds across different ISAs.
You may reach HMRC’s helpline on this phone number: 0300 200 3312.
The Helpline is open from 8.00am to 8.00pm Monday to Friday; and 8.00am to 4.00pm on Saturdays and Bank Holidays.
You may also find further ISA guidance on GOV.UK.
