Harlequin Property
Harlequin Property - PCP Investment Claim
Harlequin Property was an unregulated, overseas investment opportunity. Luxury apartments and villas were to be built in the Caribbean, and other exotic locations. Advisors sold these on the promise of huge returns on property the investors would own once they had been built.
However, only some of the properties were completed and Harlequin Properties recently went into insolvency, with many of the investments now having little or no value at all. The Financial Ombudsman Service has seen 100’s cases involving Harlequin Property, and in many of these has ruled in favour of customers who were encouraged to invest sometimes tens of thousands of pounds of their hard earned pension.
The Serious Fraud Office has also charged employees of Harlequin of Fraud by Abuse of Position. It is clear that the majority of people who took out an investment involving Harlequin Properties would have taken an investment completely not suitable for them.
