    They could put "as seen on Moneysavingexpert" now. Doesnt mean its a good article/coverage.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
  • They had a full page ad in the Sunday Mail on Jan 21st. Shares in new residential developments giving "between 20% and 30% per annum". Basically buy site, develop properties, sell, share 75% of profits (25% to HA).

    [TEXT DELETED BY FORUM TEAM]

    Sorry to hear that but did you read the info below on their website or documentation? Did you understand what you were agreeing to? If [TEXT DELETED BY FORUM TEAM] then you may well have had a lucky escape. Many other such schemes on here lose 100%.

    They are not offering deposit savings rates. No FSCS protection. No FSA regulation.

    If they were FSA regulated then the website would be full of breaches. As they are not FSA regulated, they can more or less say what they like.

    100% of your capital is at risk. This is an unregulated invesmtent. To even compare it with cash savings is disingenuous
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    And it looks like Harewood Associates are getting MSE to remove certain text from posts - my previous has been edited presumably on legal request from Harewood.

    Yes, text deleted yesterday and 2 new posters today saying unprompted how wonderful Harewood Associates are. I guess Harewood just found this thread and leapt into action. One day firms will realise how counter-productive spamming and threatening is. Here's a tip Harewood - if you think you have been misrepresented and have a strong case then get permission to post here and defend yourselves properly.

    A few weeks ago a poster claiming to be from Harewood (unauthorised) started a thread about its wonderful offerings. I added a link from there to this thread so that readers would see the other side of the story. That thread disappeared soon after, presumably because its OP was not an authorised company representative.

    Anyone on this forum had any dealings with Harewood Associates?

    I have, and I think I may have been burned!
    Lent then 10 grand almost a year ago, and haven't heard a word from them since.
    Has anyone had dealings with a Peter Keily from this company?

    I'd be happy to hear from you if you have any info on his company or on their development at Hapsford Hall Barns in Cheshire.

    Latest development. 6th October 2014.
    I am happy to report that since this blog was posted, I have been contacted by Harewood Associates.
    They have apologised for not having contacted me prior, on the premise that they send out a quarterly report to all investors. It appears that after a review of the mailing list, My name and two others had not been added to this list, hence the omission of reporting.
    I have accepted the apology, and have accepted their invitation to view the site, later this week.
    Progress on the works is progressing, and the final trades are completing second fix at the moment.
    I was also informed the all but one of the homes have been sold.
    I am a lot more comfortable with the situation now.
    Thanks to Money Saving Expert.
  • Hi tomp51, We'd be really interested to hear another update on this. Has the investment provided the returns expected? Cheers
