The investment opportunity consists of financing the acquisition of plot 19 of the SUP R-5 “Las Mesas” sector, Estepona. The plot has an area of 2,578 m2 and a buildable area above ground of 3,696 m2, on which a building of 36 homes will be developed, some of them with excellent sea views. The project includes parking spaces and storage rooms, as well as spacious common areas with swimming pool, coworking space and gymnasium. Currently, the pre-sales level is 36% (13 of 36 documented reservations). The developer applied for the license in June 2024.

The project will be financed through a €1,800,000 fixed-rate mortgage loan with a first mortgage guarantee. In this project, the loan has as an additional guarantee a pledge of the amounts owed by the AEAT to the developer for the refund of VAT (Value Added Tax) amounting to €525,000.

The developer, ARG Promociones, has contributed its own funds in the amount of 1,642,543 € (47.44%), which together with the 1,800,000 € requested from the wecity investors, reaches a total amount of 3,424,543 € necessary for the acquisition of the land and payment of the technical costs.

The repayment of the wecity investors’ loan will take place with the entry of the developer loan, once the building permit and the level of pre-sales required by the financing entity have been obtained.

Through wecity you can participate in a fixed rate loan operation with an annual interest rate of 11% for an estimated term of 12 months (6 months mandatory) with the possibility of an extension of 3 additional months. The total estimated return is 11% for 12 months or 13.75% if the final term is 15 months with the extension. The interest payment + the return of the invested capital will be made at maturity.

With a minimum investment of 500 €, you can participate in this opportunity with an excellent profitability and with maximum guarantees.

ECO Appraisal and Mortgage Guarantee

The loan will be secured by a 1st degree mortgage on plot 19 of the SUP R-5 “Las Mesas” sector, Estepona (Málaga).

The current appraisal for mortgage guarantee purposes (Order ECO 805/2003) amounts to 2,580,980 €. This means a Loan to Value (LTV) over the current appraisal of 69.74%. The independent appraisal entity in charge of identifying the value is TECNITASA, whose corporate name is Técnicos en Tasación SA, and is registered as an Approved Appraisal Company by the Bank of Spain under number 4315.

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the loss that may occur in the event of non-payment by the counterparty in a financial transaction. In this specific case, the risk that the Promoter does not pay the principal and/or interest on the Loan.

Sector risk Risks inherent to the specific sector.

Such risks may be caused, for example, by a change in macroeconomic circumstances, a reduction in demand in the sector in which the equity financing project operates and dependencies in other sectors. In any case the investor should be aware that adverse economic conditions or cyclical changes may lead to a weakening of the Promoter’s ability to meet its financial commitments in connection with the loan.

Risk of default

The risk that the project promoter may be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and other events affecting the project or the project promoter that result in the loss of the investment for the investors. Such risks may be caused by a variety of factors, including, without limitation: (serious) change in macroeconomic circumstances, mismanagement, lack of experience, fraud, financing not matching the corporate purpose, failure to launch the product or lack of liquidity. In the event of insolvency of the Promoter, the holders of the credits will be considered as credits with special privilege, as they are secured by a mortgage guarantee, in accordance with the cataloguing and order of priority of credits established by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2020, of May 5, which approves the revised text of the Insolvency Law (hereinafter, the “Insolvency Law”), except for those amounts that pursuant to Article 272 of the Insolvency Law must be classified either as ordinary credit or as subordinated credit, as appropriate.

Risk of lower or delayed yield

The risk that the return is lower than expected or that the project defaults on the payment of principal or interest.

Investment illiquidity risk

The risk that investors will not be able to sell their investment. There is no active trading market for the loan, so the investor may not be able to find a third party to whom to assign the loan.

Other risks

Risks that are, among others, beyond the control of the project developer, such as political or regulatory risks.
