This company is a scam and I hope this CEO and his board be arrested soon. The customer service gives automatic answers to specific enquiries and all my investments are defaulted for almost 4 years! They just give an update of the progress in 3 in 3 months with te same message.

I started to invest with this company a few years ago, and for a quite a long time everything was OK. However, from about 2020, I have about 50 my investments defaulted and only a few were recovered. The loss is enourmous. The brave and optimistic company's reports about their great achievements are just a lie. Moreover, they started to charge investors for withdrawal their funds (3 Euro) and for not using their funds (10 Euro per month) which seems quite cynical ways of keeping themselves on board. I would say that their team who did research on borrowers and their ability and wish to use loans properly and pay them back, was extremely incompetent, if not dishonest.

Stay away if you want to invest your money in something legit. They market their solution with providing around 9% return but every time an asset is written off meaning you don't even get your investment back they don't take that into account. I attach a calculation of my investment below.

Also when an asset you invest in goes bankrupt they don't provide any information only do a paste & copy message every 6 months literally all the same for all assets.

I got so upset with that that I sent them an email complaining they got back a couple of weeks later stating that "unfortunately no additional information can be provided". I lost 2/3 of my invested capital.

I attached the way with my real world example how they calculate their "return". It's I think a scam. You lost half of your investment even after interest and spent 4 years waiting for it to be paid back and your return is -9% ??? Really, I mean I am not a genius in math but come one.

I can only say stay away if you ever want to see any of your money again. Scam.

On google reviews I also added the actual screen capture from their calculation, how they calculate net interest. Here unfortunately I can't add a photo.

Investing into various crowdlending platforms. This one's the most terrible experience. Loans stuck for years, money don't come back. They charge small investors for assets under management fee. If you whitdraw money - each time you have to pay 3 eur - unlike in other plaforms where it's free or once per month is free. Do not invest here !!!!

worst P2P site ever, i have 2K stuck with them, unable to recover for +2 years, of course I did not put any money in them anymore. Then they put 50 EUR fee per month as I am inactive, and they took 12 Euro from my account w/o notice, they noticed me afterwards on these fees.

Total scam - lost half of the investments and managed to only recover the other half, i.e. no interest was ever paid out. On top of that they debited my balance without a prior warning "due to inactivity".

Stay away from this total SCAM!!! Invested over a long time, since 2020. Everything started reporting default and none have been reported as recovered ever since! And no serious communication from anyone. You contact so called support and only get bots responding, like the ones here that repeat the same to every complaint: "Please be assured that our recovery team continues to work actively on all defaulted loans". Yeah, right!!
They provide what they call an update repeating every 3 months the same bullshit text "Recovery Plan in Completion", for almost two years now!!

I cannot say anything positive about this company, investing with them you get only disappointment and frustration, losing the money you invested.

They shall be judged for their scam

Stay away!!!!! Half of my project have been defaulted more than 3y and when they “recover” the default ones, you lose half of your money.
Worst investment ever.

Invested over 9k over a long time, in 2020 everything started defaulting and none of the default have been recovered ever since. No communication from the staff of anyone. It might have been a decent high risk platform many years ago, but currently just stay away. None of my 20+ investments have been recovered after a default for over 4 years. That says a lot.

I invested in EstateGuru back in 2021, hoping to diversify and support real estate projects. At the beginning everything seemed fine, but over time many of the projects failed or became “stuck.” More than four years later, I still have around €4,000 locked with no clear recovery date.

But that’s not even the biggest issue. The platform charges excessive fees even when users have zero control over their balance. While the projects remain unresolved, my account balance sits at €0. However, whenever a small amount is recovered — for example €300 — if I don’t log in immediately to withdraw it, EstateGuru charges €50 per month just for having that balance. After a few months, those €300 were reduced to €150 without me being aware. An absolute joke.

And when you finally try to withdraw your own money, they charge €3 per withdrawal. In other words: they charge you for investing, they charge you while you wait, they charge you when you recover money, and they charge you again when you try to withdraw it. In a world where bank transfers are practically free, this policy is unjustifiable.

What’s worse is their response: “there’s nothing we can do.” This attitude shows a complete lack of respect for investors, who already take the risk of project failures and still get punished with outrageous fees.

If I ever considered using EstateGuru again, these practices make it absolutely impossible. I cannot recommend this platform to anyone. Their fee structure is abusive, they do not take care of their investors, and they penalize those who have already lost the most.

🆕 UPDATE after company response:
Thank you for replying, but your answer doesn’t change my experience as an affected investor. Whether the problematic loans are “old cases” or not is irrelevant to me: they are my investments, and they have been blocked for years with no clear resolution. The money I eventually recover arrives in small amounts, and the moment it hits my balance I’m immediately exposed to high fees — either €50 for inactivity or €3 per withdrawal. In practice, this means that not only do I fail to recover my full investment, but what little I do recover is slowly eaten away by charges.

For investors stuck in long-term defaulted loans, the least EstateGuru could do is to exempt these accounts from penalties, given that we did not choose to leave our balance idle — the platform made it impossible to reinvest due to unresolved projects. Between the loss of capital, years of waiting, inflation, opportunity cost, and additional fees, the final result is a financially disastrous experience.

This is exactly why I do not recommend EstateGuru to anyone looking to invest wisely. A simple diversified ETF delivers far better and safer long-term returns than what I’ve experienced on this platform.

Your money will sink in default forever. It's outrageous to see a scam of such a scale like estateguru in the EU.

Please don't spend your hard earned…
Please don't spend your hard earned money on this business. More than 95% of my loan is default and waiting for more than 3 years ,there is no recoveryandd when i see their website they claim they reecovered billions of euroes but i did not belive its real data.so best thing is put your hardest money in other than Estateguru.If you have already put into estateguru and their defaulting loans, best to forget about it. Even if you get something back, you will realize its all taken as fines by estateguru due to no account activity if you dont log in asap and withdraw(why would anyone even check the account when there is nothing but default there)

Review:

I have been investing on EstateGuru for a while, and unfortunately my experience has been mostly negative. A large number of my loans have defaulted or are significantly overdue, so the platform has delivered very little return for me. On top of that, they charge a fee on the small amount of interest that still comes in.

What frustrated me the most is the monthly “inactivity fee.” Since I was barely active, this fee was deducted even during a period when I simply didn’t log in for about 10 days. In my case, the fee essentially wiped out the interest I had received.

I contacted customer support by email around three weeks ago to request a refund of these fees, but I haven’t received any response so far.

Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend EstateGuru at this time.

Absolute thieves. Disgusting management. My worse experience with a company EVER.

Complete scam, can only recommend to stay away and invest somewhere else! Loans keep defaulting and there are no updates from the recovery team. Zero progress in almost 3 years now.

Scam! Scam! This is a total scam! Stay far away from this company! For three years, they’ve been repeating the same empty promises, claiming they have a finished plan — but nothing ever happens. They took my money, so don’t let them steal yours too!

It is a scam. I have multiple defaulted loans for years that are never get recovered.
The updates are always the same coming every three months showing no progress.I've been waiting for a refund for over 5 years!

50€ month??????? Are you insane? This charge was never clearly explained in the platform’s user flow or communications I received. I believe this practice is unacceptable and has put my savings at risk
Requested remedy
Full refund of the €50 monthly charges applied, unless you can provide a clear contractual basis and prior written notice for them.
A clear explanation of the legal/contractual basis for these charges, including the exact clause in your Terms of Service and sample communications sent to investors.
Confirmation of changes you will make to ensure transparent disclosure to users going forward.
If this matter is not resolved to my satisfaction, I will escalate the complaint to my national consumer protection authority and seek independent legal advice.

I have a few thousand invested, with about 22% stuck in recovery for over two to three years with no progress. The rest of the loans are performing well.
