The investment

The developer Desarrollo, Gestión, Reactivación y Promoción Inmobiliaria en Sevilla SL is seeking financing through wecity for the renovation of a historic property in Seville, located at Calle Peral 19-21, which has eight residential units.

The developer has already purchased the property, has begun the renovation (54% of the work is complete) and is requesting a loan of €860,000 to complete the renovation.

To date, the developer has contributed €727,250.34 (46%) of its own funds towards the construction costs, technical expenses and part of the acquisition of the property.

As collateral, the developer offers a second-rank mortgage guarantee on the asset, on which Banco Santander has a mortgage for €1,393,000 (HET value €2,587,185.33). As additional collateral, a first mortgage is provided on an asset owned by the borrowing company, located at Calle Beatriz de Suabia 21. The loan amount will be used to cancel an outstanding charge of €340,000 on the asset at Beatriz de Suabia 21 and the remainder to finance the work on the asset at Calle Peral 19-21.

At present, there are no sales, and the estimated average sale price for each of the eight homes is €360,000.

The exit of the investors from wecity is planned with the sale of the eight homes at Calle Peral 19-21.

Through wecity you can participate in a fixed rate loan operation with an annual interest rate of 11.50% for an estimated term of 12 months (6 months mandatory) with the possibility of extending for an additional 6 months .

The payment of interest plus the return of the invested capital will be made at maturity.

Location and surroundings

Calle Peral, 19 is located in the historic center of Seville, in an area with excellent connections and services. A few minutes walk away are bus stops such as Calatrava and Resolana, which connect with different parts of the city. In addition, it is well connected to the suburban train lines (C1 and C2) and about 10 minutes by car from the Metro (Line 1), which guarantees agile mobility both inside and outside the old town.

In the immediate surroundings there are several educational centers, such as the Doctor Sacristan School, as well as kindergartens and public and subsidized centers. It is also close to reference hospitals such as the Virgen Macarena and Virgen del Rocío University Hospitals, as well as private medical centers. All this makes this location an attractive option for families, investors and residential projects, thanks to its consolidated environment and high demand.

Mortgage collateral

The loan will be secured by a first mortgage on the asset located at Calle Beatriz de Suabia, 21, and a second mortgage on the asset located at Calle Peral 19-21, Seville.

According to the appraisal reports prepared by Risc Valor, the current appraisal of the asset located at Beatriz de Suabia, 21 amounts to € 1,222,971.67.

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.
