| I am so sad that this company is still going. While the director swanned about in a Bentley, investors, lenders, solicitors - and big institutions at that - are being played off against each other. These buildings do exist. But they are not owned nor do they have planning. It is all down to getting enough deposits in and selling off plan, without even lifting a trowel. I am amazed at this new guy thinking he can float this company. Unless he has a major overhaul in mind of the scandalous practices that occur there. People are declared bankrupt - that is not to say they have nothing. They reinvent themselves in another guise and do what they know best. Ripping off punters, staff and apparently the Manchester Evening News thinkls the sun shines. It was a scam and it will be a scam. The projections are good but greed always gets in the way. DO your homework. Don't part with any money unless it is in your solicitors account. Have fun. |

Fresh Start cheated a lot of investors, how can a company like this get floatation? I paid deposit to this company in the July of 2011 for their so called development in Nottingham, but their sales director Paul Walker refused to write down the exact date of the completion on the reservation form they offerred me, and also refused to pay me back my deposit even they can not finish the student house in Nottingham in August 2012 as they promised.
The reason they refused to give me my money back is that they didnt fail to deliver, but if there is no date of completion, they will never FAIL TO DELIVER. According to the information I got, when they sold the property, they didnt have both the planning permision and the ownership of the property. I put a post on the forum of Residential Landlord about my experience with Fresh Start, but their people asked me to take it off by threaten me their legal team was not happy about it.
English is not my native language, maybe the word I used in the post is not very suitable, but now I am writing a report to the local government in China about this company and my experience, definitely this time there will be no misunderstanding, because I am using my own language, and, the most important, I am telling the FACT, before truth, wording or grammatic issue can not be the excuse of lying.
If someboy can help me to get my money back, please contact me on:

I also am trying to get my money back, the contracts were not complete, my solicitor said i would be a fool to continue and pour more money in.Was then informed that my time period had passed and that my reservation would be 'rescinded' ie, taken.
My solicitor has written to theirs about this totally unprofessional behaviour. Next stop, to keep badgering the company, report the matter to action fraud, experian credit agency and various other agencies including Trading Standards in order to buld up the case dossier file against them. |

Have just filed my action fraud report against the company.Have reported to DTI Trading standards, local and national.Have written to Charlie Cunningham and a friendly reporter .Will contact their PR agents next.
The more publicity drummed up might not help my own case but will certainly serve a clearer warning to others. As other consumer forums have noted, it is the 'tiny investor' who gets punished here. Many of the uncompleted major projects with FSL remain so because larger investors shy away when they see the model. The 'tiny invesors' can have an important voice however in terms of reporting and sticking at it.Another DTTI forum which allows a report for wrong doing is Ripoff tippoff, that is my next port of call. |

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. |

Montgomery House landlords are taking action against Fresh Start Living who are failing to honour their rental guarantee agreements. A number of landlords have received nothing since June 2012!!
This situation is alarming as we understand that all pods in the property are currently rented out to students, many of whom have handed over rents for the entire academic year to Fresh Start.
However Fresh Start appear to have so far pocketed the money as many landlords have either received bad cheques or are being fobbed off with the following excuses - promises to pay by the end of the week; computer systems failure; or blaming individual employees as dishonest, incompetent or both!
If you have had similar experiences with this company please contact us via

| FSL are not paying rents to many owners of student pods at the Greenock Halls site. They do not reply to customer inquiries, do not pay rents, do not provide information about the HMO registration for the units, do not do their job in general |

Fresh Start Living Limited has approached creditors with a view to agreement to a CVA (company voluntary arrangement). It is insolvent.
Any creditor considering this option should bear in mind that the director of Fresh Start Living Limited, Philip Wright, placed his last company (Wrightchoice Developments Limited) into a CVA which failed.
Wrightchoice Developments Limited is now in liquidation. The value of creditors is £6million.
NO ONE HAS RECEIVED A PENNY. |
