Freshstart Living / Fresh Start Living - should I buy from?

[boblepel]

Hi There,

I've recently come into a lot of money via a death in my family and am looking to invest it in property. Looked on the internet a few weeks back and came across this company - Fresh Start Living.

I spoke one of the sales guys on Friday 1st July at FreshStart Living and asked who was the Managing Director there and was told it is Andrew Camilleri so I went away to do my due diligence on him.

In the insolvency service register on the internet It says that Andrew Camilleri is bankrupt, just put 'insolvency service' into google and I think it's the first one then click the 4th link down on the left that says 'Bankrupty Search. I then selected Manchester as the area and the court as Salford because that's where his company is based. Typed in Andrew Camilleri and up he pops!

I've spoken to my solicitor, he said I am fine to post a bankrupty on a forum as it's public domain info and fact and he said that if a Managing Director is bankrupt then he can't be a Managing Director or have anything to do with running the show at Fresh Start - apparently that is illegal.

I called Freshstart Living back again and spoke to a person with a very broad manchester accent called Paul and asked him who the managing director was again just to make sure and he confirmed it's Andrew Camilleri. I then asked him whether Andrew is in the office so I could speak to him, Paul told me he wasn't available but that he is really passionate about the company and around alot and manages the whole company and will meet up with people if they come to their office.

I put the phone down because I got massively concerned that not only is the managing director bankrupt and the company has countless accounts set up on companies house - it all looks very dodgy.

Has anyone on here bought from Fresh Start Living? Am I getting this wrong or should I stay away?

I've got over 2 million to invest and need to ensure I invest it in the right way!

Please Help!

Hmmm....a question that is not really a question followed by an answer that is not really an answer.

Guess I'll draw my own conclusions.

Hi Bob,

I truly believe if you wish to invest in property, you should first educate your self about it... Several organizations exist out their and one I which is worth mentioning is www[dot]propertyinvestingquickstart[dot]co[dot]uk/ Property Investing Quick Start | with Simon Zutshi

This is a one day course and will give you alot of grounding and also advise on finding the right people... I went on the course in Oct 2011 which gave me confidence to start investing in property my self.

I have not heard of fresh start living, but the one day course should give you a lot to then go back on. Also, you will be in contact with a lot of people who should then be able to help you.

I would think you have enough money to spread between companies and to see what each can offer... but to really invest, you need to know what you are doing.

Kind Regards,
Randeep
