Student Property Investment

We are investigating a number of student property investment schemes. Please get in touch through the form below if you think you are the victim of a fraudulent or mismanaged scheme.

Legal structures sit behind all of these schemes, often illegal ‘unregulated collective investment schemes’, and many involved transactions managed by solicitors and described as “conveyances” (of student bedrooms or hotel rooms, for example). Promoters of the schemes would often suggest a local firm or panel of firms to the investors who could quickly and cheaply complete the transaction on the basis of standard form documentation, sometimes paying the solicitors even though their client was the investor. The investors were told that these firms were familiar with the concepts and the development and that searches and enquiries could be recycled without the need to reinvent the wheel.  In fact, the unspoken arrangement with the promoters was often that solicitors would wave through their clients’ ‘investment’ in schemes that should have raised red flag after red flag.
