Please would someone mind expanding a bit about this HMRC issue? I haven't received any email about it from PP. Thanks. New issue now involving HMRC problems preventing return if funds from sold properties. Paying 3% interest on tied up funds until resolved The HMRC confusion (if that's really what's going on) is a real worry. How, at this stage, can they not know how the 5 year sale mechanic works?

I guess you'd only get the email if you were an investor in a property that has been sold, but here's the body of it:
"You are a shareholder in XXXXXXXXXXXX. The sale of the flat completed on XX XXX XXXX at a price of £XXX. We are seeking guidance from HMRC on the legal procedures for returning funds to shareholders. We are working to resolve this as soon as possible, but cannot currently provide a date when shareholders’ funds will be returned. Given the delay to our normal process, Property Partner will pay shareholders 3% p.a. interest on unreturned funds based on the property’s latest valuation, from 1 March 2022, until the date that they are returned to shareholders. The interest will be paid monthly in arrears, commencing on 5 April 2022."

It appears the issue may be resolved & the process to return funds to investors underway. Expected to complete in a month.

They are just as bad at selling properties as they are at buying and renting them, these multi-unit properties will be derelict before they are sold. Not even sure I'm affected by that issue as my properties had exchanged according to the sep update and there has been no meaningful update since. Note there is no property chain on the selling side either!

Indeed, I've just been notified one of mine sold and there is cold hard cash waiting to be withdrawn!!
Good News/Bad News of course as the amazing rate of return is -29.57%

Coming up for 3 years to sell 7 units in a eastbourne freehold property.
They agree to sell the final unit for 33% less than the valuation and they still can't expedite the transaction as you'd expect, it's been over 6 months.
They are just not very good at what they do expensed by other people's money. If the idle cash on these multi-year sales can't even earn interest why aren't they paying dividends.

I imagine because if they pay dividends, we'll be taxed on them, whereas if they wait to return it all at the end, we will get a capital gain/loss instead which will generally work out better tax-wise for investors. Agree with the sentiment on how long it is taking and the sorry state of affairs of us having idle money earning no interest though. Things must have been setup so poorly for this to not have been foreseen and a solution built in.

Still no update on June sales, they've forgotten again, it's not like anyone is interested any more...
