Lohn has more than 10 years of experience and was at Close Brothers Property Finance for just over eight years, including around a year as business development manager (BDM).
He also has experience as a property developer.
Lohn will be part of the team led by Steve Larkin, and LendInvest said his appointment demonstrated the lender’s commitment to supporting SME developers in the UK, amid a period of potential growth due to the undersupply of new housing.
Lohn (pictured) said: “After knowing Steve and his history in the industry, when he mentioned to me that there might be an upcoming opportunity at LendInvest, I was naturally intrigued.
“After meeting the rest of the team and learning more about their goals and funding pipeline, it was an easy decision.”

He added: “I’m looking forward to bringing my unique perspective to the role. Having experience on both sides of a deal, it affords me a deeper understanding when it comes to taking a sensible approach and a more commercial view of the risks involved.”
Steve Larkin, managing director for development finance at LendInvest, said: “As more investors look to development finance as an opportunity amidst the undersupply of new home construction, it’s an exciting time for the industry in England, Scotland and Wales.
“Dan brings with him deep market knowledge as a lender as well as a developer; his insights and ambition will help support our SME developers as they navigate a dynamic market.”
