Financial Mis-selling Solicitors: Claim Back Money Lost to Bad Financial Advice
If a regulated adviser recommended a pension transfer, SIPP, bond or investment that didn't suit you and you lost money, you may be owed compensation. We claim from the firm, the Financial Ombudsman (up to £455,000) or, if the firm has failed, the FSCS (up to £85,000). No Win, No Fee.

Read the guideHave You Lost Money Through a Financial Product You Were Advised to Buy?
You trusted a financial adviser. They told you the investment was safe, suitable, and right for you. But it wasn't. Whether you were advised to move your pension into a high-risk SIPP, transfer a valuable final salary pension, invest in mini-bonds, buy into an overseas property scheme, or hand your savings to a wealth manager who lost them — you may have a legal right to compensation.
You are not alone. In 2025/26 the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) paid more than £125 million to people who received unsuitable investment, pension and SIPP advice. The Financial Ombudsman Service received 214,600 complaints in 2025/26. Sources: FSCS Annual Report 2025/26; Financial Ombudsman Service.
You could have a claim if:
- You were advised to transfer out of a final salary or defined benefit pension
- You put your pension into a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) that held high-risk or unregulated investments
- You invested in a mini-bond, loan note, or high-interest ISA that has since failed or stopped paying
- You were sold a care home room, hotel room, storage pod, or overseas property as an investment
- You invested in an unregulated fund, collective scheme, or overseas investment vehicle
- A wealth manager or discretionary fund manager lost your money through unsuitable investments
- You were the victim of an APP (Authorised Push Payment) fraud where your bank failed in its duty
- You received financial advice from an FCA-regulated adviser or firm and suffered a loss as a result
