We can help you recover it

If you have lost money in an off-plan or investment property purchase you may think that the builder or developer is responsible for compensating you for your loss. This may not necessarily be the case.

If you received incorrect or insufficient advice about your property purchase or investment from your solicitor, or if they advised you that your property investment deposit was fully protected by insurance when it was not, you could be eligible for compensation from your lawyer and be in a positive position to make a successful claim against them.

We work closely with panel firm solicitors who are both specialist and extremely experienced in this niche area of litigation. Our senior panel solicitors have helped investors recover tens of millions of pounds worth of property investment deposit losses. They have also successfully secured reimbursement of interest on those losses in many cases.

We work with experienced, senior litigators to achieve extremely positive outcomes for clients in cases of legal professional negligence claims involving property investment and purchase.

We have successfully helped clients that have lost investments in a variety of different property schemes including:

  • Off-plan property schemes that were never built

  • Badly managed property schemes that have entered liquidation

  • Property investment schemes mis-sold as ‘Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes’ (UCIS)

  • Off-plan property investment schemes where investors’ deposits were misused while held in ESCROW, or where their insurance policies or guarantees failed to protect their deposits

Often these investments will have had a number of investors who have lost their deposits and we have been successful in representing groups of litigants where deposits were lost through investment in large scale developments such as hotels or student accommodation. Please take a look at our F.A.Q.’s for further details on how we can help you make a claim on a property investment or purchase as an individual or as part of group litigation.

We have also represented clients’ interests on property investment group action claims through our sister company, the NWIC Action Group where you can find more details on successful settlement outcomes for property investors who have lost money on failed large developments.
