Good option for stable interest rate earnings

Reliable and stable option to earn higher interest rates. Only the website should be working better sometimes (connectivity).

non-performing loan

An investment with a good interest rate disappeared. It is not among the financed loans either. Insolvent loans have been unpaid for almost 3 years

No progress in recoveries

No progress in recoveries. I have several defaulted loans, some of them for nearly three years.
They provide an update on the status every 3 months which is just the same bullshit that "Recovery Plan in Completion". One and a half years with the same update and the recovery plan never completed...
This would be a joke, if there was not real money in it...
Stay away, there are much better and trustable P2P companies and offers out there

You better spend you money on the most stupid and reckless thing than "invest" in this shitty platform. Burn the money. It's way better. That's how bad and awful they are...

Total scam and thieves.

Don’t lose your money there

I don’t need to add much more - my experience is already well documented by all the messages: despite having what they considered as a very balanced portfolio (more than 30 different projects) and going for the less risky investments, I am just breaking even today and have no hope of getting more from those projects which have been in default for 3+ years. Many of those projects have the same borrower behind, who seems to have made a nice business model out of not repaying their debts - which indicates that the due dilligencr they perform is very very very weak.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We continuously improve our credit policies and risk assessment processes to ensure higher quality and better results for investors. While these updates cannot immediately resolve older defaults, the portfolio performance from recent years has been very strong — as shown in our August portfolio overview: https://estateguru.co/blog/august-portfolio-update-third-month-of-growth-strong-investor-activity/

We understand how frustrating it is when loans remain in default for a long time. Please be assured that our recovery team continues to work actively on all such cases, and every month brings new progress and results. So far, more than €62 million has already been recovered from problematic loans.

Default loans never being repaid, no customer support.

This is an updated review. I wrote a review a year ago, and would like to update it. I invested 6,000 euro in very low risk loans, so far 6,300 has been paid back since 2018. I have 700+ euro in defaulted loans and at this point I will not get it back. I have one loan in particular that I invested in June 2020. It defaulted. There have been no updates for 2 years about it. That's over a 5 year turnaround and the platform simply does not care. Keep your money away from this platform as you will get no support, minimal if any gains as they have become so unreliable. On top of this, they are brazen enough to launch their new Grow part of their platform with a promise of 7% returns. It would be great if they could organize their initial property loans part of their platform before insulting customers with launching new products. Do not invest.

Defaulted loans

40% of my investment went in default. Already waiting for resolution for 3 years, no progress by so far. There are better ways to lose money. Don't let Estateguru to lose your money on poor loan selection. Highly not recommended.

Catastrophic

After there were excessive problems with defaulted loans, which still have a default rate of 70% from around 2023 with no prospect of timely collection and recovery of the money, Estateguru introduced several bad measures to squeeze money out of users and punish those who left by squeezing even more money out of them. After failing themselves, selecting poor loans and being unable to push ahead with recoveries, they are now punishing their customers with fees for the few loans that are still active, withdrawal penalties, penalties for being inactive for too long and not continuing to invest, and just waiting for their money to be withdrawn... extremely bad and not recommended. With its greed, Estateguru is digging its own grave.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We can assure you, resolving loans in recovery remains a priority for us, and more than €62 million has already been brought back to investors. You can also see an overview of portfolio health and recovery progress in our latest half-year video update: https://youtu.be/4jNNcX8nHb4?si=wylo4tAplK_QTrrg

On the topic of fees, withdrawals involve operational costs, which is why a transaction fee applies, and the inactivity fee only comes into effect after 12 months without new investments. Investors are always notified in advance with ways to avoid it, either by reinvesting or withdrawing funds.
