The investment

The developer CM3 Invest is requesting financing through wecity to cancel a mortgage debt with a bank, Banco L. J. Carregosa, S.A., and complete the construction of five villas located at Rua Engenheiro António de Almeida 78 Ramalde, Oporto.

The plot has an approximate area of 1,445 m2, with a total gross construction area of 1,356 m2, divided into 3 floors above ground and 1 below ground, with each dwelling having 226 m2. The constructed area of each dwelling is 466.2 m2. So far, 90% of the work has been certified as completed.

The project will be financed through a fixed-rate mortgage loan of €2,000,000, which will be secured by a first mortgage guarantee.

1,261,670 (38.68%), which has been used for the acquisition of the land, construction, technical, legal and legal fees.

It is estimated that the repayment of the loan to the wecity investors will take place with the sale and delivery of the five homes to the end buyers.

The project

Location and environment

The Ramalde neighborhood in Porto is an expanding residential area that combines modern buildings with a variety of commercial spaces. Its location stands out for its proximity to key services such as the NorteShopping shopping center, the CUF Porto Hospital and the Parque da Cidade, the largest urban park in Portugal. It also offers excellent public transport connections, such as the Casa da Música metro station, and is close to the University Center of the Universidade do Porto. The proximity to the Estádio do Bessa, the Bom Sucesso Market and ample green and sports areas makes this neighborhood an attractive option for both living and investment.

Mortgage collateral and appraisal

The financing will be secured by a 1st degree mortgage on the land and all construction already completed on five of the six villas in the development, located at Rua Engenheiro António de Almeida 78 Ramalde, Porto.

According to the market study carried out by ERA Imobiliária, the estimated selling price of each villa is 991,828 €. As a result, the 5 villas would have a total value of 4.472.000€. The financing to be provided to the developer is 2.000.000€, which means a Loan to Value (LTV) on the current appraisal of 44,72% and a Loan to Value of the 1st sale of 40,74%.

Collateral agent

The constitution, preservation, management, administration and, if applicable, enforcement of the real estate mortgage rights on behalf of wecity investors shall be carried out by an entity external to wecity.

In this case, the appointed Collateral Agent will be the Collateral Agent of the key factsheet.

Pre-contractual cooling-off period for inexperienced investors

Inexperienced investors have a cooling-off period of four (4) days during which they can, at any time, revoke or withdraw, at any time, from their investment offer or expression of interest in the participatory financing offer without having to justify their decision and without incurring a penalty. The cooling-off period begins at the moment when the potential inexperienced investor makes an investment offer or expresses interest and expires four calendar days from that date. To exercise their right of revocation, Investors may send an email to the following address: reclamaciones@wecity.io, filling in the “subject” field of the email as follows: “REVOCATION – Name of the Opportunity – Full name of the Investor”. In the event that a monetary contribution has been made in connection with the financing offer, this amount will be returned as soon as possible to the wallet that, as an investor/user of the ‘WECITY’ Platform, has been opened in the Payment Institution ‘LEMONWAY’.

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 will not pay the principal and/or interest of the Loan.

Sector risk Risks inherent to the specific sector.

These risks may be caused, for example, by a change in macroeconomic circumstances, a reduction in demand in the sector in which the participatory financing project operates and dependencies on other sectors. In any case, the investor must bear in mind that adverse economic conditions or cyclical changes may lead to a weakening of the Promoter’s ability to meet its financial commitments in relation to the loan.

Risk of default

The risk that the project developer may be subject to insolvency proceedings and other events affecting the project or the project developer that result in the loss of the investment for the investors. These risks may be caused by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: (serious) change in macroeconomic circumstances, mismanagement, lack of experience, fraud, financing not fitting with the corporate purpose, failure in the product launch or lack of liquidity. In the event of the Promoter’s bankruptcy, 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 Bankruptcy Law (hereinafter, the “Bankruptcy Law”), except for those amounts that, in accordance with Article 272 of the Bankruptcy Law, should be classified either as ordinary credit or as subordinated credit, as appropriate.

Risk of lower or delayed return

The risk that the return will be lower than expected or that the project will default on the payment of principal or interest.

Risk of illiquidity of the investment

The risk that investors will not be able to sell their investment. There is no active trading market for the loan, so it is possible that the investor will 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.
