The investment

The investment opportunity consists of financing the purchase and refurbishment works of a 3-storey building located at Rua de Santo António de Contumil 247, Porto (Portugal), where a development of 5 dwellings with parking and large common green areas will be developed. The project only requires a license for the transformation of the first floor, where there is a change of use to residential.

The project will be financed through a fixed rate loan of 500,000 €, with a 1st degree mortgage guarantee on the asset.

The developer will contribute €369,607 of its own funds for the purchase of the building and the payment of the fees. This amount, together with the €500,000 requested from WECITY investors, makes a total of €869,607 required for the development of the promotion.

The repayment of the loan to the wecity investors will occur with the sale and delivery of the homes to the end buyers.

Through wecity, you can participate in a fixed rate loan operation with an annual interest rate of 12% for an estimated term of 18 months (6 months mandatory) with the possibility of an extension of another 6 months. The estimated total return is 18% over 18 months (or 24% if the final term is extended for an additional 6 months).

The interest payment + the return of the invested capital will be made at maturity and we will get out when the apartments are delivered to the buyers after the granting of the housing license and the respective final deeds of sale.

With a minimum investment of 500 € and no investment limit, you can participate in this opportunity with an excellent profitability and maximum guarantees.

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.
