More details on our strategic approach and the benefits that group litigation can offer can be found below.
-
We always strategise for the most appropriate and beneficial route to claim for your particular case.
We pride ourselves on our bespoke approach and know from past experience that this is the most successful strategy for clients who have lost money in failed UK property developments.
-
Every property investment failure is different and the optimal route to a successful claim requires investigation and insight.
We fund detailed legal research for each failed development and utilise our legal intelligence to create a bespoke strategy for litigation for every group claim.
This strategy minimises risk and optimises the prospect for a successful outcome and a positive settlement on your behalf.
-
We have been successfully managing group claims for a number of years and have gained a clear understanding of the benefits which group litigation can afford our clients, such as shared costs and positive settlement outcomes.
A group of litigants is significantly more powerful than an individual and the economies of scale afforded by a group claim mean that we can add real value to the final sum of compensation that you receive.
WHAT WE DO
We understand the significant impact a lost investment can have and will pursue all possible routes to claim on our clients’ behalf.
-
It is a given that some property developments will fail simply due to economic and market conditions. Unfortunately, the UK has seen a proliferation of failed property development schemes in the last decade or so, a number of which were sadly revealed to be investment scams and fraud.
Within the current UK legal system it is extremely difficult to successfully pursue the individuals responsible in the criminal courts with any meaningful chance of recouping investment losses.
We therefore look to secure legal redress and secure compensation for our clients by claiming against the professionals who were paid to protect your interests when you invested in your property and who failed to properly do so.
-
In many cases we will pursue a professional negligence claim on behalf of our clients, against the advisor who failed them in their duty of care on their property investment, such as a solicitor or licensed conveyancer.
To date we have successfully coordinated a large number of claims against UK solicitors who acted on behalf of property purchasers, but who failed to serve their best interests and to give the warnings of risk recommended by the UK Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
-
In addition to professional negligence litigation, we will also pursue all other routes to claim where possible. We have successfully secured compensation for a number of clients from the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and from claims undertaken in conjunction with liquidators of the development companies.
-
Both in the UK and internationally, investors sadly continue to be targeted by a significant and worrying level of property investment scams and fraud.
We know from speaking to our clients that they can often feel angry and embarrassed that they have lost money this way but we know this is absolutely through no fault of their own.
We have witnessed the extremely sophisticated and convincing marketing strategies employed by bogus UK property investment schemes as part of their deception in our case research. We work with hundreds of clients who have suffered at the hands of property investment scammers.
You are not alone and we are here to help.
As part of our work we are fully committed to raising client awareness of property investment scams where we uncover them and the signs to look out for to avoid them in the future.
We also report scams to appropriate enforcement agencies where we uncover them.
how we can help
We are invested in ensuring that your case has the best chance of success and the most positive settlement outcomes.
-
We manage the entire claims process on your behalf from initial case research to negotiating the optimal compensation when your case settles.
Group claims can however take some time to come to a point of settlement and legal costs can quickly mount up. We monitor the legal team we employ on your behalf to ensure that costs are well-managed and appropriate.
We will also establish positive working relationships with the liquidators of property developments where possible in order to protect the property liquidation value and achieve the maximum returns for our clients on settlement.
-
We appreciate that you may have already lost significant sums of money but our model involves no significant financial risk to you as a client, which we hope is reassuring.
All our work is undertaken on a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), also referred to as ‘no win no fee’. This means there is no up-front cost. Not all CFA’s are the same however: we work to ensure best terms with our legal partners and for legal expense insurance so that you receive the optimal amount of compensation when your case settles.
We charge a fixed percentage of the sum recovered on your behalf so all final costs to you are clear and transparent from the start.
If for any reason your claim is not successful you will not be liable for any costs.
