I emailed Alesco to enquire about property investments. They called me in minutes, gave me good information and had a follow up call. Very customer focussed and engaged.

They listed my flat as for sale… the flat that I own. Read there reviews, this is not the first time they’ve done this. STAY AWAY!
I just had a reply to my bad review of them… let me clarify to you Alesco … we purchased a flat in Carnaby place, 6yrs ago… you work with crooks that are source developers now in administration, and Ackroyd’s appointed lawyers, also crooks. You have all absolutely thrown at least 500 plus minus apartment purchasers out of pocket, loosing all of our deposits… you are an absolute disgrace likewise all those associated with you. Zero help from you yet you sold us this flat… all smiles 6yrs ago and still a complete and utter shambles
Overall a good experience at the start. The staff explained everything in detail, which made the process feel straightforward.
Putting fake apartments on Rightmove

Antwoord van Alesco Property
Listed flats in a building that aren't for sale for some reason, agents hung up when questioned. DO NOT WORK WITH THEM very likely a scam.

The team was very helpful and guided us clearly through the investment process. Commnication was smooth and easy to understand.

Zero stars! Avoid this company at all costs!!!
This is a company who listed an apartment for sale that DOES NOT EXIST!
How do I know it doesn’t exist…BECAUSE IT IS MY APARTMENT!!!!!!
Yes, they listed my property (that I own) on Rightmove!!!!!!
NO, it is not for sale AT ALL but their ad used ALL the details from when I bought it over 12 months ago.
(…and yes I have the evidence to prove all of the above).
NB: If there dare reply and ‘justify’ their above actions I will separately post their replies (lies) to people ‘enquiring’ about my property!!!!

Throughout the process, there was good communication. When I inquired about the legal requirements for foreign investors, I was given clear and practical advice. It gave me a sense of encouragement rather than pressure.

I was considering investing in student housing, and I thought the advice was very helpful. They provided realistic projections, which made it easier for me to choose a property without giving it too much thought.

A huge disappointment with Alesco! We applied to them for Mill conversion project. They changed the date of the project two times after they took our money. The project was not delivered on time and clashed with my husband’s visa extension period and he could not take mortgage as he does not have visa result which is still in process for 8 months. This was a buy to let project and we would pay through mortgage. Also we learned that high street lenders do not lend for this project which we were not informed at the beginning. When we said we had to cancel as we can not have mortgage due to visa processing time, they told we can not have any of our money back. We paid 31.000 GBP at the exchange of contract. I will try all legal remedies to get my money back but please do not trust this company.

I recently began researching buy-to-let properties, and the team made the process less daunting. They helped me comprehend the Liverpool market and guided me through possible rental yields. This was extremely informative.

I liked that before making any recommendations, they enquired about my long-term goals and financial situation. Random properties didn't seem to be being pushed. The choices seemed more in line with what I really wanted.

Antwoord van Alesco Property
I was especially invested in northern cities like Manchester and Liverpool. The opportunities that were shared appeared to be in promising areas that aligned with my independent research.

Very pleased with the illustration about the property valuation

I had no idea where to begin because I had never invested in real estate before. I was able to grasp the fundamentals without feeling overwhelmed by the first discussions. For me, it was different because it wasn't hurried.

Antwoord van Alesco Property
My experience was absolutely phenomenal. Had a lot of support, my questions were answered professionally and promptly. I would definitely recommend Alesco

Antwoord van Alesco Property
I wanted to expand into Birmingham, where I currently own a few properties. I valued the opportunity's supporting data, which included comparable rents, area growth, and projected yields. It seemed less sales-oriented and more analytical. That strategy worked for me.

WARNING! DO NOT DEAL WITH ALESCO!
As you read this, bear in mind I purchased a property from Alesco a couple months prior to the date below, so there was a trust and rapport built.
December 2023, I was sold an opportunity for a great return on investment - a buy-to-flip deal.
I was told this location had a high investment worth £1 billion and the development was located 5 mins walk from here. The advice given and plan was to pay a deposit and exchange (off-plan flat), then closer to the time 6 - 9 months prior to completion (estimated completion Q4 2025), contact Alesco to list the property up for sale.
I contacted Alesco very early June 2025 to do so. But was told that they could not list my property for sale because they still had other units remaining to sell. Apparently this clause was in my contract, which I know I should have checked, but as mentioned prior, I trusted them - lesson learnt. My solicitors also did not advise me of these clauses. Flash forward a couple of months into August and upon clarifying with my Solicitor, it appears this was not correct and I was given the wrong information.
I went back to Alesco and wanted the answer in writing to confirm exactly why I wasn't allowed to list and equally, I wanted to know how many units were left for sale, so I could list mine. I have emailed them twice including phone calls to chase, but zero reply. At the point of writing this, it has been 10 days since I sent the email. How long does it take to type an email with an answer you gave me over the phone? Surely you know the reason why, if you were able to give me the answer in the first place. Secondly, how long does it take to contact colleagues in your sales team to find out how many units for sale you have remaining? Emails seem to be rather quick when things are in your favour. Yes, I am looking at you Completions Team. I called again on 11/09/2025 for which I was told she will get round to it on that day, but nothing still.

Eventually a director/partner(initials RF), replied to me using email. He advised that to rectify this, they are putting it on their "internal system" so it can be resold. I asked why they couldn't list it publicly? Apparently, it's not allowed as the developer may "see it". But, they also need to take a £10,000 brokerage fee - another thing I wasn't told in the sales pitch.
So in summary:
1) Not only have Alesco shown how unprofessional they can be.
2) But are doing what feels like delaying tactics by ignoring my emails.
3) Giving me the wrong information, therefore, I lost 3 months of potential sale time for my unit.
4) I now stand to potentially lose £37,000 of my deposit. But lucky for you, you have a tight clause in your contract that says I cannot challenge if I feel I have been mis sold to get this back.
5) The Director seems to have lied about attempting to sell my unit, but I now believe they were delaying tactics and will never materialise (see my update below)
Yes, I have emails and chat screenshots telling me how wonderful and great this opportunity was going to be.
You never disclosed the restrictions. And instead, denied any responsibility and shifting the blame onto me.
Needless to say, I will never be dealing with Alesco again.
Update 27.02.26
Interestingly I had found out I wasn't the only one to have been "mis-sold". Apparently Alesco have sold to other customers including those considered "vulnerable". And they have been removed from acting as a sales agent for the development.
