Urgent Update for Investors

I was approached recently by a director regarding my reviews, offering compensation for removal. Despite receiving some funds, payments have stopped. There is no immediate financial return expected. I am contacting local authorities and media to bring attention to this issue.

Continuous Deception

I purchased a fraction years ago, but the promised returns have only occurred once. I've received persistent excuses about finding investors and negotiations. We've requested a buy-back, but have heard nothing for months. The reality is far from their advertised experience.

Avoid at All Costs

Avoid this operation. After years of trying to recover my funds, I have encountered nothing but false promises. We are now approaching the press for coverage, and the financial authorities are also seeking evidence.

This Is a Scam

This is a scam! No rental payments are being made. Stay vigilant!

This is a fraudulent scheme - do not invest!!

Please be advised that this is fraudulent scheme. I invested in the Halcyon Retreat in 2020, specifically in one of their so-called "Tree Houses", and have not received any payments for over two years.To those sharing reports of “great returns” and a “fantastic experience” — I too encountered no issues during the initial two quarters. However, communication ceased thereafter. Following a negative review I posted online in 2023, payments briefly resumed, only to stop again the following quarter.I am open to being contacted should further details about my experience be helpful. However, I strongly caution any prospective investors or partners to avoid any involvement with this company.

DO NOT INVEST!

I strongly advise anyone considering investing to be extremely cautious.The company has repeatedly promised to make the outstanding payment by specific deadlines — yet not once have they met these commitments. Every time, I receive the same excuses about delays and “finalising financial arrangements,” but no actual results.My previous review I have removed after they contacted me with assurances that I would receive my payment by 15 October. Unsurprisingly, that date has now passed, and I have not received a single cent. On top of that, Alan has completely stopped responding to my messages.I have now engaged a lawyer to recover my full investment, as I have lost all trust in their promises. This experience has been extremely frustrating, and I hope this review will help others avoid the same situation. People can contact me - together we are stronger.

Ongoing Saga

You can read my reviews below as with many others who’ve been in this for the long term. Always starts well with a few years of steady returns and then nothing but excuses as to why they can’t pay, yet throughout always trying to entice new investors with exciting exit strategies. Personally I and a good friend invested over 11 years ago and we are fairly smart usually about what we invest in and did our due diligence but you rely on the other party to be completely transparent about their financial situation. Contracts have long since been broken and we’ve all had the many many excuses why they’ve broken these contracts and as of today I’ve still not received any exit return and they are way behind on yearly rentals. For all of the many investors out there who’ve lost money with HDG, halcyon retreat, barrasford and bird or whoever they morph into to keep the show on the road the only clear path I suggest is to bring us all together and ensure that this new ‘alleged’ new finance company is fully aware of the current situation. It’s been explained to me that they are fully aware of ‘the good, the bad and the ugly ‘ in the accounts but I am sceptical of this. Do your research and make sure you all continually post about your ongoing experiences, don’t forget there is local media in France and also a number of bodies to contact in the uk to raise your grievance, see an earlier post of mine with advice on who to contact. City of London police is a good starter (they deal with financial complaints on behalf of other regions). DO NOT just post once and forget l, this is ongoing and you are entitled to post updates on your ongoing experience as we all have a duty of care to the ones that follow behind us looking to invest.
