Fractional ownership in real estate: lessons learnt when schemes go wrong

Investors are often promised high yields into properties such as student accommodation, hotels, and even car parking. However, these projects are often poorly planned, where developments prove to be nothing more than a loss-making venture with investors frequently receiving lower yields or in some cases nothing at all.
 
Our panel of experts share their insight and experiences of solving these complex problems and what lessons can be learnt from those schemes that go wrong. Financial journalist, James Ashton, chairs the discussion between Paul Muscutt, a partner at Crowell & Moring, Simon Campbell, a managing director from our restructuring and insolvency team and John MacLean, a director from our restructuring and insolvency team.
 
Our experts cover:

• How this market has grown and developed in recent years.
• What fractional property investment is and why people look for alternative investments?
• How these schemes go wrong: what issues come up and how do they occur?
• How to handle a scheme that has gone wrong and the lessons learnt from unravelling these arrangements.
