Thank you for partnering with us on this project. It's been great to have had a knowledgeable funder who understood the project and allowed us to get on with doing what we do."

John & Sam, Property Development

Loans

I wanted a reasonable fixed rate of return with low risk. I like the way my money is combined with money from the other investors, the founders and their families to diversify the risk and to make loans in the South West."

Mrs B, Lyme Regis

Investment

It has been fantastic working with you all and we’ve appreciated your advice, support and efficiency throughout."

Vicki and Peter, Property Development

Loans

I invested because I trust the people behind Bricks and they are able to give me a much better rate of return than my bank. I like their business model and the way they focus on providing support for local businesses in the region which they know and understand.”

Mr R, Senior Partner with a Global Law Firm

Investment

I invested in Bricks over four years ago and have increased my investment several times since. The fixed rate of return is far better than anything available with the high street banks and I like to see where my money is being invested."

Mr A, Exeter

Investment

I love the fact that my money is being used constructively on projects throughout the South West and that I can see the tangible benefits that Bricks offers to both borrowers and investors."
