Spending this amount of money
Spending this amount of money is a huge decision and an off-plan purchase involves a lot of trust and research. It was clear from the start that they had done extensive checks on every aspect of the developments. We also looked at some price comparisons and were surprised at the huge savings. Having exchanged, we look forward to completion later in the year.

A visit to the location of the development, including an explanation on how local employers and attractions would positively impact on the rental prospects, was offered. We have already recommended them.

Explained everything in details
They're very knowledgable and happy to explain things in great detail. We had previously bought an apartment in Liverpool from them and we wanted to invest further. We opted for their social housing investment, as it was already built and producing income. Adeel is our main point of contact and we are grateful for all his guidance and assistance.

Not so good for me.
Update 1 April '26
I'm still chasing a reimbursement that Portico PROMISED to make on 30th October 2025.
I am now being fobbed off and advised to seek reimbursement via the solicitors insurance policy. This is after they themselves promised to reimburse me.
Fool was I to trust them.
---------------------
This is additional info after response from Portico.
It is disappointing that despite my complaints to Portico directly, they have not been addressed outside of this platform.
1. Regarding the additional valuation (that I paid for).
"We have confirmed that the valuation was carried out."
This has not been conveyed to me personally (not from the mortgage broker, the lender, nor Portico) and this review response is the only notification that the valuation has indeed been carried out. I am still awaiting the promised recompense from Portico.
2. "Completions Manager is currently establishing the correct process for buyers affected by ESN’s collapse to claim from their PI insurance and will be in touch with you shortly, we hope that all your additional costs will be covered with a claim, we will be on hand to assist where and when necessary."
Might Portico have thought it appropriate to advise me of this personally rather than solely in response to my review?
3. "Going forward though your property will be an excellent investment,"
Sadly, this is proving not to be the case, even with a fully tenanted property a year from today I will still have suffered a financial loss. It is still empty.
4. "[the solicitors] didn’t have any impression you were unhappy with that situation.
They most certainly did, and so did Portico. I made it clear to both that someone else should be paying the late completion penalty, not me.
I've still yet to receive any direct correspondence from Portico regarding my dissatisfaction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My experience with Portico Invest has not be so good.
Initially, I was very happy with the decision I had made to invest in a new-build property in the Midlands.
The projected financials looked good (of course they would). As did the location.
I used the experts that Portico connected me with: mortgage broker, solicitors. However, my mortgage offer wasn't very good, but by the time I got the offer, I was too far down the line with Portico to halt the process, at least without taking a huge financial hit.
The solicitor proved less than efficient and just before exchange of contracts the solicitors went into administration, this resulted in further expense and delays, all beyond my control, yet Portico took no responsibility at all. I incurred a delayed completion penalty from the developer, again Portico were not interested in challenging this or offering any assistance.
Then, the 'new' solicitor made financial mistakes on my case, and had I not noticed it would have cost me thousands.
On the day scheduled for completion, I received a message that is wasn't going to happen because the lender was asking for another property valuation to be done. I was billed £345 for this valuation, which it appears now never to have been done. Portico had promised to refund this, but weeks later nothing.
The financial projections for both short-term lets and longer AST lets have proved to be wildly optimistic.
I've now owned this property for nearly 2 months and still it is empty. If I let the property tomorrow, I will still be well out-of-pocket by the end of the year.
In hindsight (oh hindsight), I should have left my money in a savings account and taken the 4% on offer there.
I've recently had the property valued, which seems to indicate that the purchase price was not discounted at all.
Others seemingly have had better outcomes than me. Regardless, with any investment, think carefully, I wish I had not listened to the sales talk.

We are extremely sorry that the completion process in your case has fallen short of the standards our clients have come to expect from Portico.
Your fair and balanced comments by and large reflect the issues we both faced getting your property completed. We would like to add some context if we may.
ESN the solicitors we introduced you to for your conveyancing had provided excellent service at a very reasonable fee to literally hundreds of our clients over several years they had been in business since 2009 and had an excellent reputation.
When we were notified, they had gone out of business it was completely unexpected, our internal team did everything possible to communicate with buyers, the administrators of ESN, to have files transferred and to organise replacement solicitors capable of stepping in at short notice and accommodate a large number of affected buyers in order to minimise any inconvenience , we accept that despite our best efforts the normal smooth process was disrupted .
The delay in completion caused by the solicitors meant that the lender for your apartment required a further valuation, this is normal given the delay, but this was out of your control, and you should not have had to incur that cost. We have confirmed that the valuation was carried out.
Because of the delays the developer exercised their contractual right to charge interest for the period you over ran to complete, this meant you had a further cost of over £1,000.
We contacted your conveyancing solicitor who confirmed that they advised you of a balance due back to you following the drawing down of funds from your lender, they didn’t have any impression you were unhappy with that situation, they assured us that they were fully aware and in control of the disbursement of funds.
You completed your purchase in mid-November , we believe you considered both short term rental and standard AST options, both very viable, your preference was for the AST option and your property was marketed , we have spoken with the agent and they explained that the period immediately prior to Christmas is a tricky time to let new properties, demand has been very high generally and your property should be rented now we are in the new year.
Perhaps frustratingly properties let on a short-term basis were 100% occupied over the Christmas and New Year period.
Completions Manager is currently establishing the correct process for buyers affected by ESN’s collapse to claim from their PI insurance and will be in touch with you shortly, we hope that all your additional costs will be covered with a claim, we will be on hand to assist where and when necessary.
We hold ourselves to very high standards and our clients expect the same from us; we completely accept that in this case the normal smooth completion process was not achieved and unreservedly apologise for the frustration and short-term financial inconvenience these issues have caused you.
Going forward though your property will be an excellent investment, rentals are strong in both short term and longer-term markets, the area is excellent and we know the development has been completed to an extremely high standard exceeding a lot of our clients expectations.
Regards
Portico Investment
