I was sold a care home room investment through a Bristol adviser — do I have a claim?

Very likely. Care home room and hotel room SIPP investments are almost invariably unsuitable for retail clients. If the promoting adviser was FCA-regulated, you have FSCS, FOS or court routes.

My adviser was in Bath and has now closed — what now?

If the firm has been declared in default, the FSCS pays eligible claims up to £85,000. We manage the application from start to finish.

Do you handle claims from Devon and Cornwall too?

Yes. We advise clients across the whole South West on a fully remote basis.

Financial Mis-Selling Solicitors in Bristol

Financial mis-selling in Bristol and the South West

Bristol and the wider South West of England have seen significant financial mis-selling activity, particularly around SIPP investments and pension transfers. The region's relatively affluent professional and retiree population made it a target for advisers promoting high-return alternative investments through SIPPs — including care home rooms, hotel developments, and overseas property schemes — often to clients approaching retirement who could least afford to lose capital.

Bristol IFA firms and FCA regulatory action

Bristol has a vibrant financial services sector with numerous IFA practices in the city and neighbouring Bath. Several Bristol-area firms have faced FCA investigation or regulatory action for unsuitable pension transfer and investment advice. If your Bristol or Bath adviser is no longer FCA-registered, your claim may be covered by the FSCS up to £85,000.

Mini-bond and APP fraud claims

We also advise South West clients on mini-bond mis-selling — including London Capital & Finance investors — and on APP fraud claims under the PSR's mandatory reimbursement rules (October 2024).
