Great Investment Experience

Having invested in several of Shojin's projects, I have never been left disappointed. The team is friendly, responsive and trustworthy. I am reassured by their knowledge, due diligence process and the fact that they always put their own money on the line.

Great company, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent returns

I have invested with Shojin for about a year now. I have great confidence in this company and am really happy with how my investments are performing. The management and staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are always available to give advice, regular updates and answer questions. They carry out a thorough due diligence on every project and invest their own money also. I will continue to invest in further projects.

A trusted property finance company you want to invest in

I have personally invested in a few of Shojin's projects over the years and am impressed with their level of professionalism, expertise in the property market, strong due diligence, clear and concise investment project updates and return for my money.
Their friendly staff are very informative and answer my questions and explain the investment process in a way that is easy to understand.

The team inspires confidence in investors

We have made investments with this firm for the first time as, despite the very unsettled circumstances in the UK and in the global economy, the team at Shojin inspires confidence with a well- established track record of successful projects.

Although we have yet to see returns on our investment as the project is expected to reach completion in just over two years, we have every confidence that we have made the right decision. The firm provides transparent and very complete information on whichever potential investor can make a decision, with worst case scenario possibilities clearly set out so that the investor is fully aware as far as is possible , of potential pitfalls.

The firm keeps us regularly updated, and the team is composed of young , energetic members with expertise across a range of skills necessary in this sector. The CEO, Mr. Jatin Ondhia, is always happy to answer queries which he does very concisely and clearly.

We believe that the firm is very visionary and has a strong finger on the pulse of the changing face of the property market in the U.K., and we would recommend the firm without reservation.

Great knowledge, investor orientated company

Shojin have been exceptional in terms of investor feedback, knowledge of the investments and due diligence work.

I have invested several times now and have encouraged others to invest.

Would highly recommend the company as I find them to be trustworthy and honest and well informed which can alleviate the fears of investors.

Knoweldgeable, trustworthy and on the ball

Shojin offers some very attractive investment opportunities and the background work they put in to make these happen is always first-rate. Dealings with the company are friendly; any questions are answered quickly and with as much detail as you require; and so far the returns have been impressive.

Professional, Intelligent, Analytical, Investors Interest at Heart

Having invested with SPP for a little while now (since 2013), I have always found them to be extremely thorough in identifying all project risks and possible mitigants, and having investors best interests at heart when bringing projects to us, and then subsequently managing them post investment.
Jatin and Sandy are both very analytical and intelligent about the UK Property market and when it comes to investors, are men who will honour their commitments and promises - I have direct first hand experience of this.
Their projects are all winners as they force capital appreciation through smart, innovative methods to maximise floor space. Coupled with their knowledge of planning / social housing / project financing and exit strategies, they ensures investors always have a complete picture and go into any project with eyes wide open giving each project the best chance of success.
The other factor which makes them stand out from the crowd (and property development shops are ten a penny) is their alignment to investors by investing their own capital into each project, up to 10% of the equity raised. With SPP having skin in the game, and without charging up front or on going management fees, investors can be assured that they will do all it takes to ensure each project's success as they are only paid by taking a share of the profit on project completion.
They are building out their team now to grow their business and take it to the next level aiming to add a P2P Lending Platform, getting regulated by the FCA and ultimately an AIM listing. I will be more than happy to recommend others invest, and myself to keep investing so they we can all benefit and continue to be successful with great steady returns. Wish Shojin PP all the success in the future!
