Mrs L Receives £70,000 – Property Remortgage Loss Due to High-Risk Investment

Background: Vulnerable Client Seeking Income

Already retired and in poor health, Mrs L was advised to remortgage her property and invest the proceeds into a commercial property fund.

Inappropriate Investment Caused Financial Crisis

The level of risk involved with this investment far exceeded what she was prepared to take. The value of the investment fund deteriorated to such an extent that it wouldn’t cover the capital amount owed on the mortgage at the end of its term. She had to sell her property and downsize as a result.

Successful Compensation Claim

We represented Mrs L and recovered £70,000 in compensation for her losses.
