Freshstart Living Ltd Fresh Start, Andrew Camilleri, Bankrupt, Property, FSL Bankrupt running a Limited Company Internet
3rd of Jul, 2011 by User352128
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 register (www.insolvency.gov.uk) It says that Andrew Camilleri is bankrupt, I've provided the link belowhttp://www.insolvency.gov.uk/eiir/IIRSearchNames.asp?court=SALF_Salford&courtname=SALF_Salford&office=&officename=&OPTION=NAME I've spoken to my solicitor 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 but after looking at previous comments on here a lot of people where saying bad things and that 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! Bob

A bigger picture is arising.

Madison Court, the property promoted by Freshstart Living used to be called Rose Hill and Churchill Court when it was owned by Chek Whyte - yes - that is the same Chek Whyte (Real Name : Anthony Beardsley) who was on the C4 programme "The Secret Millionaire" - he since went bankrupt, for the second or third time owing yet more millions.
Wrightchoice Developments Ltd is now in liquidation owing more than £4million and Andrew Camilleri is now bankrupt owing over £5million.
Surely the authorities should be looking into all of this to prevent yet more investors losing their money?

Another “character” who needs close examination is Andrew Camilleri and his company Freshstart Living. Taking deposits for future “developments”. Has a history of bumping companies, disappearing and then popping up again. Take a look at this (it is unbelievable) -

See entry number 4 on this list of “a selection of the most promising young director-shareholders from the North West property community under the age of 40? published on the placenorthwest website;

http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/future-dynamic-the-young-ones-to-watch.html

“Andrew Camilleri / 31 / Fresh Start Living / Residential development / Swinton
Fresh Start, formed in 2008, specialises in refurbishing unwanted tower blocks disposed of by local authorities. In May the company signed a partnership with Chinese online property broker SouFun Holdings to boost buy-to-let investment sales. Fresh Start’s assets include Trafford Press, Madison Court in Salford and Bispham House in Liverpool. Camilleri entered property investment, following his father’s example, at the age of 16 and claims to have a portfolio valued at £50m.”

Worth £50m? May be someone should tell them he is BANKRUPT;

Where are the authorities (SFO) FSA OFT etc on this one?

Bob,

We are fully aware of Andrew's scams and can give you further details, however the main advice is, do not invest with him.

We have several development oportunities that are 100% above board if you would like to discuss.

Feel free to get in touch if you like.

Thanks to everyone for the information.
Been considering an investment with FSL in Greenock (Waterfront Campus). A little due diligence has revealed the following. FSL are currently selling student pods in Greenock. However they have not yet purchased the property and it is still for sale through Knight Frank (you can check this on their commercial website). Solicitors have apparently been instructed but NO deal has yet been struck. Which means another buyer could still surface and purchase the property from under the very noses of the individual purchasers of the pods. I wonder how easy it would be to get our money back if this should happen, given the info previously posted about the directors.
Also, the pods are advertised by FSL as ready for occupation next month with the new student intake but this is clearly not going to be possible as work in preparing the rooms has not yet begun, nor can it until the sale is completed.
Interested to know if anyone has bought a pod in Greenock and what their due diligence has revealed.

More irresponsible press reporting about Freshstart Living - for the truth go to Bradford Telegraph and Argus – read the comments after the article, surely it would be ill advised to market student accommodation in a redlight district.;


http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/business/business_news/9175963.Bradford_office_block_could_be_turned_into_flats/


“FreshStart Living, a Salford-based property developer, has agreed to buy the formerProvident Financial head office, Colonnade, on Sunbridge Road, subject to gaining planning permission from Bradford Council.”

Maybe someone can explain why Freshstart appear to be marketing this property as if they already own it – with the required planning permission.

Potential investors need to be aware of all the facts.

Just seen this on the Internet

The company registration details on the "Contact Us" page of the website for Fresh Start Living Limited have now been removed;

"UK Registered Company 6816500"

This information is required by law.

As they have loads of different companies called fresh start living
how are you supposed to know who you are dealing with?

From other forums

I have been in touch with "the team" and I am getting lots of information via pm. Much thks!

Most of the Freshstart living companies directors etc have a poor record at companies house, for failing to file accounts and annual returns on time or at all.

I have spoken to the staff at Fresh Start Living Ltd to get an answer to one question. They failed to answer. I wonder if they are having difficulty answering it. Please post this message webwide and see if they will now give an answer.

I am thinking of investing with FSL and have spoken to Paul Walker this afternoon. My opportunity is to buy already completed student pods in Montgomery House, Manchester. As they are already completed with most occupied the risk must be minimal? After all I will own the 125 year leasehold so what can go wrong?

Please advise.
