Reclaiming Halcyon Retreat French Leaseback Investment
May 2026 – For those impacted by the Halcyon Retreat collapse, and subsequent arrest of Robin Barrasford of the now defunct Barrasford and Bird property sales operation, you may be interested in joining a group case. For further information, please drop an email to info@diarmaidcondon.com.
If you are a British citizen and were introduced to Halcyon Retreat by an FCA regulated entity, there is a very strong chance of recovering up to £85k of your investment via this route. The current cap on these reclaims is £120k, but it is not retrospective, so the old cap would govern Halcyon Retreat claims.
There are also a number of other developments in various parts of France that are in deep trouble. If you are involved with one of them, please do get in touch, if there is a way I can help, I am happy to do so.
For anyone unaware of the whole French Leaseback concept and why it became so important for investors in France, please take a look back at this older article on the subject of French Leaseback.
