Hi I was going to invest with them, but was put off after doing my own due diligence and found out some very scary facts that TOTALLY put me off!

Such as:

1. Several of their companies are due to be struck off due to not filing accounts - see companies house www.companieshouse.gov.uk

2. Also research past businesses Taregt Follow Ltd which have gone bankrupt or into receivership.

3. The person who runs the company who I met, Andrew Camilerri was made bankrupt 28th April 2011 - see the insolvency register, www.insolvency.gov.uk

I have put the link below from the Governemtn site for convenience to show this:

Needless to say, this scared me to death and did not invest!

Really dishonest and unethical company. My advice is to stay far far away. Perhaps even leave the planet earth.

I lost tens of thousands.

In my case; They have failed to deliver on selling property they categorically stated (in writing) they owned but DID NOT OWN (Victoria House, Milton Street, Nottingham - Check the land registry). Now, they are trying to keep my deposit money under the guise of signing a “non refundable” deposit.


They said they owned the property, conversion was almost complete and we would exchange contracts in a few weeks and complete before the end of LAST YEAR. It turned out that they NEVER even owned the property in the first place. They now expect to keep my deposit (and many others that I am in direct contact with) in case they might be able to purchase this property at some undefined point of time in the future. Totally unacceptable and unreasonable in the eyes of the law.


They obtained "deposit" money from me by MIS-REPRESENTING THE FACT THAT THEY OWNED THE BUILDING and REPRESENTED AN UNREALISTIC TIMESCALE FOR PURCHASE. I relied upon their representations prior to signing the purchase agreement. This was, in the opinion of my solicitor; either negligent or Fraudulent behaviour. You decide.


Now, after spectacularly failing to obtain the freehold to the property for over ONE YEAR and after ignoring most of our phone calls and emails they expect to keep our money?

Disgusting and outrageous behaviour. Not a reputable company at all.

They have acted despicably after their mistakes and refuse to pay us back the deposits that you owe us.

Hi all,
We've had the following request from The Times newspaper aimed at anyone affected.

I am a journalist for The Times and I am interested in hearing from people who have invested in 'student pods' through companies like Fresh Start Living. Please contact me at [email protected]
