Was I mis-sold an overseas property investment?
Overseas property investments may well tick all the boxes of an attractive looking scheme to place your pension money in, whether as a stand-alone investment or via a SIPP, making your retirement look that little sweeter.
Not only do they appear to predict some attractive returns, but the imagery is great: sun-soaked hotels, villas and condos in beautiful locations, giving the impression that they are almost sure to succeed!
Usually, investing in overseas property involves purchasing off-plan hotels, condos and resorts which should then pay a return once the property is available for holiday rent
Other types of overseas property schemes include the purchase of derelict residential properties to undergo refurbishment, followed by rental or resale to make the returns.
We’ve seen all sorts of overseas property investments come and go, both big and small, conservative and ambitious, and we’re pleased to say that many are sold the right way, using clear, honest and transparent advice.
But not all of them…
ALL overseas property investments are HIGH-RISK INVESTMENTS, which are unregulated by the watchdogs at the FCA, and many have gotten into trouble, gone into liquidation, never got off the ground, and some may have even been scams.
Our team of specialist case handlers have experience with claims over the mis-selling of overseas property investments, and we don’t anticipate stopping anytime soon.

Overseas Property Compensation FAQ’s
Does The Claim Go Against The Investment?
No, making a claim will not go against your investment. Most of these firms are based abroad and are not regulated by the FCA. It is not the job of the investment company to judge who is suitable to invest. That role falls to financial advisers, and if you took advice that could prove to be negligent, then there may be a claim to be made against the adviser.
Unsure whether you have a valid claim? Get in touch with our teams today – we can have a no-obligation chat about your situation and guide you through your options.
Are mis-sold property investments like a timeshare?
Most of the investments we commonly see being mis-sold through SIPPs were standard investments, but one or two sometimes included a timeshare element.
In terms of making a claim, it is important to work out if financial advice was provided, and whether it was negligent. In this respect, these investments are often very different from a timeshare. If you’re unsure on what your next best steps are, give our team a call today – we are on hand to help.

A lot. Over twenty thousand complaints were made about mis-sold pensions and investments in 2020/21, a figure which had doubled since the year before.. It’s no secret how serious this problem is, and it just seems to keep getting worse.
