With over a decade of experience in development lending and a property developer and investor himself, Lohn will be reporting to Steve Larkin, managing director of the division.

Previously, Lohn worked at Close Brothers Property Finance as a business development manager.

Lohn says: “After knowing Steve and his history in the industry, when he mentioned to me that there might be an upcoming opportunity at LendInvest, I was naturally intrigued. 

“Upon meeting the rest of the team and learning more about their goals and funding pipeline, it was an easy decision. 

“I’m looking forward to bringing my unique perspective to the role. 

“Having experience on both sides of a deal, it affords me a deeper understanding when it comes to taking a sensible approach and a more commercial view of the risks involved.”

Larkin adds: “As more investors look to development finance as an opportunity amid the undersupply of new home construction, it’s an exciting time for the industry in England, Scotland and Wales.

“Dan brings with him deep market knowledge as a lender as well as a developer; his insights and ambition will help support our SME developers as they navigate a dynamic market.”

It comes after LendInvest named a new head of distribution in August.
