This platform has effectively stolen my money. I invested around £1500 in two properties in 2017, sold to me with the promise of a 5-year exit. It’s now well over 8 years later, and I’ve had no return of capital, no dividends since 2022, and no real way to get out.

Their so-called “exit mechanism” is a sham. You’re told you can sell your shares on their internal exchange, but it’s illiquid and priced so far below market value that it’s not a real option. You either accept a 50%+ loss, or you wait indefinitely while they sell off properties unit-by-unit over several more years — all while charging management fees.

Their marketing at the time was deeply misleading, and they now hide behind disclaimers and technicalities. The core fact remains: I was promised a structured 5-year exit, and instead I’ve been financially trapped, with no income and no control.

I’ve submitted a formal complaint and have escalated to the Financial Ombudsman. This company should not be allowed to operate in the way it does.

If you’re thinking of investing, don’t. You may never see your money again.
