WHAT WE DO
We specialise in helping investors who may have received poor legal advice when investing in collective property investment schemes.
Many people in the UK and overseas have purchased rooms or units in student accommodation, hotels, or care homes, and may not have been properly advised on the regulatory or investment risks.
In some cases, these types of schemes may fall within the definition of Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes (UCIS). The FCA has raised concerns about the promotion and sale of such investments to the general public.
Our team has worked with thousands of buyers, helping them form groups and connect with qualified legal professionals to explore potential professional negligence claims.
We are not a law firm and do not offer legal advice, but we can help you understand your options and put you in touch with experienced solicitors who specialise in this area.
How do you know if the property you have purchased might be part of a problematic scheme?
There are certain features that some lawyers and regulators look for when assessing whether a scheme may raise concerns. For example:
-
Were contributions from different investors pooled together?
-
Is the scheme managed as a whole by someone else?
-
Do investors lack day-to-day control of their individual properties?
If one or more of these factors apply, the scheme may raise regulatory or legal issues. We can introduce you to a firm of solicitors with experience of these types of claims, who can assess your situation and advise whether you might have a claim.

How we Work
Our aim is to enable you to recover the losses you have sustained as a result of the negligent advice you received from the solicitors who acted for you in the purchase of property which forms part of an unlawful scheme.
Your claim for damages as a result of the negligent advice will be managed entirely by one of our highly experienced panel of law firms. Each one of these firms is a specialist in professional negligence and these types of claims. Most are TOP 100 Law Firms.
To enable us to pass your claim to a law firm we will need to examine the documentation your were given by the solicitors at the time you purchased the property. We will tell you which documents we need to see when you make contact with us.
When your documents have been reviewed by us we will produce a FREE REPORT confirming our findings and then introduce you to one of our law firms. This process is completely FREE OF CHARGE.
You can find more information about what we do and how and why we do it on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) Page.
Professional negligence claims do not fall within the regulatory framework for Claims Management and therefore UCIS Professional Negligence does not need to be regulated by the FCA. Our role is solely to examine your documents and then pass you to a regulated firm of solicitors.
OUR TEAM
We are a small organisation of only 8 people and three or four other part-time external researchers. We pride ourselves on having business relationships that have real longevity. That's a reflection of our character and integrity and we only work with providers and suppliers of the same calibre.
Disclaimer
UCIS ProfNeg is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, and that any legal advice must come from a regulated legal professional.
