The investment

The company Residencial Lagoon Mijas, S.L., requests financing through wecity to cover the costs of acquiring a plot of land on which 18 multi-family dwellings are to be developed in the Las Lagunas urbanization, at the intersection of Mijas and Fuengirola. The building license has already been granted.

The plot has an adopted area of 827 m² on which the project will be developed, which will have 18 apartments distributed over four floors plus a penthouse floor. In addition, it will include 4 commercial premises, parking spaces and storage rooms.

The project will be financed through a mortgage loan for the amount of €800,000 at a fixed rate, which will have a first-degree mortgage guarantee.

The developer will contribute own funds amounting to €513,061.75 to cover the remaining payment for the acquisition of the land.

As there is not yet an updated appraisal (pending receipt from the appraiser Gesvalt), the LTV calculations are made with the latest official ECO appraisal available from the developer.

The repayment of the loan to wecity investors is planned with the entry of bank financing once the necessary milestones for such financing are met.

The project

Location and surroundings

Mijas (or Mijas), located on the Costa del Sol, is one of the most sought-after areas in the real estate sector thanks to its combination of panoramic views and privileged climate. The real estate on offer is diverse, from luxurious villas in La Cala and Mijas Golf to cozy apartments in the picturesque white village of Mijas Pueblo. Its excellent connection with Malaga and Marbella, together with a wide range of services, golf courses and proximity to beaches, make it an attractive investment for both residence and vacation rental.

Collateral and appraisal

The loan will be secured by a first ^{degree mortgage} on the asset located at Parque de las Lagunas R-8-2, Mijas, Málaga.

As there is not yet an updated appraisal (pending receipt from the appraiser Gesvalt), the LTV calculations are made with the latest official ECO appraisal available from the developer.

According to the appraisal report carried out by SOCIEDAD DE TASACIÓN, the current appraisal amounts to €1,454,263.78. The loan to be made to the developer is €800,000, which represents a Loan to Value (LTV) on the current appraisal of 55.01%.

The HET value of the asset is €6,012,488.25, which means an HET LTV of 13.31%.

Finally, the first drawdown of the loan is €800,000, which means an LTV of 55.01% for the first drawdown.

Collateral agent

The constitution, conservation, management, administration and, if applicable, enforcement of the pledge on behalf of wecity’s investors shall be carried out by an entity external to wecity.

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.
