How it works.
Brickstarter is a real estate crowdfunding platform headquartered in Spain. Retail and accredited investors fund equity opportunities project-by-project — either manually after reading the disclosure pack, or via an auto-invest strategy that allocates across new deals according to your filters (yield, term, region, originator score). The platform handles deal sourcing, underwriting, KYC and ongoing servicing on behalf of every investor on its cap table.
Each deal is presented with a project page that includes the borrower / sponsor identity, the use of funds, the security or collateral structure, the headline yield and the repayment schedule. Minimum ticket sizes start at €50 and typical deal terms run 12–36 months. When a deal is fully funded, capital is released to the borrower and scheduled returns (interest, dividends, capital amortisation) post to your investor account on the dates specified in the loan agreement.
Operations are supervised by —. Supervision covers conduct, disclosure, segregation of investor cash, marketing standards and the platform’s own capital adequacy — it does not, however, guarantee that an individual deal will perform as advertised. Investors retain full project-level risk on every loan or equity stake they buy.
Once an investor has built a portfolio of 20–30 positions, performance is best assessed against the platform’s historical default rate, recovery rate on workouts, and the relative performance of its loan book through prior macro cycles. Reinvestment can be automated to compound returns; withdrawals go out via SEPA or local bank transfer to the account on file, usually within 1–3 business days for available cash.
Opening an account.
- 01 Create an account on the platform with your email and a strong, unique password (use a manager).
- 02 Complete KYC — upload a government-issued ID document and proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, dated within 3 months).
- 03 Confirm tax residency and provide a tax-ID number for the country where you’ll declare returns.
- 04 Fund the investor account via credit card, bank transfer (minimum €50). First deposits sometimes take 1 business day to credit.
- 05 Review the loan book — read the project memo, originator history, collateral pack and default-rate disclosures before committing capital.
- 06 Build a portfolio of 20–30 positions to diversify; configure auto-invest rules if you prefer a hands-off approach.
- 07 Track monthly statements, reinvest scheduled returns, and withdraw available cash to your bank account whenever needed.
Fees & charges.
- Account opening: free — there is no signup, KYC or annual maintenance fee for investors.
- Minimum deposit: €50 per transaction. There is no upper limit for retail accounts; institutional and family-office tickets are negotiated separately.
- Deposit fees: SEPA and local bank transfers are free. Cross-border SWIFT may incur correspondent-bank charges set by your bank, not the platform.
- Investment fees: typically zero on the investor side — the platform earns from origination / servicing fees paid by the borrower or sponsor, and that economic burden is already reflected in the headline yield.
- Servicing fees: some platforms levy a small annual servicing fee (often 0.5–1 %) on outstanding principal; check the latest fee schedule on the platform’s legal page before allocating size.
- Withdrawal fees: free for in-region SEPA or local bank transfers; non-EUR / non-local withdrawals may incur a small fixed bank fee.
- Secondary-market fees: when a secondary market exists, sellers typically pay a 0.5–1 % transaction fee on the realised price; check before listing.
- Tax: interest and capital gains are taxable in your country of residence. Most European platforms do not withhold automatically — investors report income in their annual return and may apply double-tax-treaty relief where available.
Deposits & withdrawals.
- Deposit methods: SEPA bank transfer. Crypto is not supported.
- Minimum deposit: €10 per transaction. No upper limit for retail accounts.
- Deposit processing: SEPA usually credits within 1 business day; instant SEPA arrives in minutes where supported.
- Withdrawal method: SEPA transfer to the bank account on file. No third-party withdrawals.
- Withdrawal processing: Available cash typically arrives within 1–3 business days; funds locked in active loans only return as borrowers repay.
- Early exit: No secondary market — plan on holding loans to maturity.
Historical yields.
The platform advertises target gross yields in the 8–11 % p.a. band. Realised net returns on a diversified portfolio typically run 1–3 percentage points below the headline range once defaults, cash drag and fees are taken into account.
Track record is best read against the Spain macro context — local interest rates, property cycle and employment data move loan-default rates in real time. Investors should diversify across at least 20–30 loans before extrapolating any single year of returns.

Who it suits.
Suited to risk-tolerant investors with a 5–10 year horizon who can afford the possibility of total capital loss on individual deals. Diversification across at least 15–20 positions is essential; minimum ticket from €50. Not appropriate for emergency-fund capital or income-replacement strategies.
Risk disclaimer.
Capital at risk. Investments on Brickstarter are not bank deposits and are not covered by any deposit-guarantee scheme (FGD in Spain, FGDR in France, gli istituti di garanzia in Italy, etc.). You can lose part or all of your capital.
Default risk. Borrowers may stop paying. Even with collateral or buyback, recovery is slow and partial in stressed scenarios.
Liquidity risk. There is no secondary market — invested capital is locked until the loan or project reaches maturity.
Tax. Interest and capital gains are taxable in your country of residence. Most European platforms do not withhold automatically.

Frequently asked.
Is Brickstarter regulated?
Brickstarter operates under supervision of —. Supervision covers conduct, disclosure, segregation of investor cash and minimum capital requirements. It does not guarantee that any individual deal will perform as advertised — investors retain full project-level risk on every position they hold.
What is the minimum investment on Brickstarter?
The minimum ticket per deal is €50. There is no upper limit for retail accounts; institutional tickets are arranged separately with the platform.
What returns can I expect from Brickstarter?
Advertised gross yields are 5% p.a.. Realised net returns depend on default rates, cash drag (money waiting between deals) and any servicing fees — expect actual portfolio returns 1–3 percentage points below the headline range after a full investment cycle.
How long does it take to withdraw funds from Brickstarter?
Available cash typically arrives via SEPA or local bank transfer within 1–3 business days. Funds locked in active deals only return as borrowers repay; there is no secondary market, so plan on holding to maturity.
What happens if a borrower defaults?
In an underwriting failure, the platform pursues the contractual recovery path — collateral realisation, debt-collection enforcement or court proceedings, with workouts typically taking 12–24 months. Recovery is rarely 100 %, and investors should size positions accordingly.
What happens if Brickstarter itself goes bankrupt?
Investor cash held on the platform is segregated from Brickstarter’s own balance sheet, as required by the rules of —. In an insolvency, cash should be returned to investors and outstanding loans transferred to a runoff administrator who continues to collect repayments on investors’ behalf. The process can take 12–24 months and recovery is rarely 100 %, but the loans you own remain your property, not the platform’s.
Do I pay tax on the income?
Yes — interest, dividends and realised capital gains are taxable in your country of residence. Most platforms do not withhold automatically; investors report the income in their annual tax return and may apply double-tax-treaty relief where available.
What is the typical deal duration on Brickstarter?
Typical project duration is 12–36 months. Longer durations generally pay higher headline yields but lock capital for longer and increase exposure to macro cycles; shorter durations offer faster reinvestment but reset rates more often.
How many deals should I hold to be diversified?
A common rule of thumb is 20–30 positions to absorb single-deal default risk. Below 10 positions, one bad loan can wipe out a year of returns; above 30 the marginal benefit of further diversification flattens. Auto-invest rules make this easy to maintain over time.

Llevo varios años confiando en Brickstarter y puedo decir que es una de las plataformas más sólidas en las que he invertido. Los pagos llegan siempre en la fecha acordada, los procesos son simples y transparentes, y cada proyecto está claramente explicado con detalles reales. Mi inversión más reciente en “Plaza España, Alicante” fue impecable: desde la documentación hasta los resultados. Todo fue claro desde el primer momento y el rendimiento superó mis expectativas. Brickstarter también destaca por su atención al cliente: responden rápido y con información útil. Después de tantas experiencias positivas, no solo sigo invirtiendo, sino que también he recomendado la plataforma a amigos que buscan diversificar sin complicarse. Una opción ideal si buscas estabilidad respaldada por inmuebles y resultados consistentes.
Vino la compañía del agua a cortarla porque no se ha pagado
Está como muy estancada la plataforma, no hay ninguna oportunidad nueva, solo mercado secundario. La competencia es infinitamente mejor
Hace 3 años que llevo con ellos. Las veces que he intentado hablar con atención al cliente es imposible. No te hacen ni caso. Si les escribes a los días te contestan de forma muy genérica. Estoy con 2 inversiones hace más de un año que lo están en obras para reformar y poner en alquiler. Sin dudas NO lo recomiendo.
Empresa seria y clara, llevo unos años ya haciendo inversiones con ellos. Comencé con pequeñas aportaciones, y ahora que los conozco y son de plena confianza llevo un tiempo ampliándolas. Trato cercano y fácil contacto con ellos.
Atención al cliente un 10!!, Super rápidos y muy atentos. Muchas gracias por todo.
Los proyectos me parecen interesantes,lo que no funciona es su aplicación autoinversion. Tienes que estar pendiente del día y la hora ya que te sueles quedar fuera por muy al día que tengas la autoinversion y tengas dinero en la cta. Te ponen mil escusas.. pero el autoinvest no funciona. Les he escrito gmails,he hablado con ellos por TF....sin comentarios.
Llevo varios años invirtiendo con Brickstarter y siempre cumplen. Pagos puntuales, procesos claros y proyectos bien seleccionados. Mi última inversión en “Plaza España, Alicante” fue completamente transparente y el rendimiento ha sido excelente.
Mi experiencia con esta plataforma ha sido excelente. Cumplen lo que prometen y se nota que cuidan cada proyecto que publican. Aunque no hay muchas oportunidades a la vez, las que ofrecen son serias y de calidad. Prefiero eso a cantidad sin filtro.
Conozco Brickstarter desde hace años y siempre entregan resultados sólidos. Procesos sencillos, comunicación clara y rendimientos estables. La inversión en “Plaza España, Alicante” confirmó, una vez más, su profesionalidad.
Desde que empecé a usar la plataforma, todo ha sido claro y profesional. Las oportunidades que publican son pocas, pero bien estructuradas y confiables. Se nota que priorizan la calidad de los proyectos. Estoy muy satisfecho con lo que he visto hasta ahora.
