Fabrik Property Group Reviews 

I’ve just completed my first investment purchase and refinance with Fabrik Property Group, who have been truly fantastic from start to finish. To begin with, I had a 1-2-1 video call with Matt Harper-Penman, who showed himself to be both knowledgeable and considerate from the first. During this call he provided me with a range of below-market opportunities and his appraisals of each of them while recognising my situation as a first-time investor. Right from the off I felt that I was in the safest hands in the industry.
Once I had made my choice, we proceeded with the purchase using all of the contacts in Matt’s phone book. I truly don’t know what I would have done without his locuplete network of property professionals; it’s the sort of resource which might take a lifetime to acquire, and I’m so appreciative that he made it available to me.
Once the purchase had been completed at well below the market valuation using a bridging loan arranged via yet another of Matt’s contacts within the industry, the refinance process began and I was introduced to another excellent member of the Fabrik team named Lynne Whittingham. All went smoothly with the refinance until, right at the moment of completion, the lender MFS entered administration, and I was left fearing for the future of my investment. However, with Matt and Lynne in my corner, I needn’t have worried. They sorted everything, finding another lender in a matter of days and keeping on top of the whole process so impressively that the entire situation passed without engulfing all of my waking hours, leaving me free to deal with my day-to-day, safe in the knowledge that I had the best team in the business going into bat for me. I now have my dream first investment property, and I owe it all to the brilliance of Matt and Lynne at Fabrik, whom I very much look forward to working with in the future.
I would happily recommend Fabrik to anybody; they’re an absolutely superb team.

As a first-time property investor I had loads of questions, but Steve made everything easy to understand. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble and I always knew what was happening. I’d definitely recommend Fabrik to anyone looking to invest in property.

Fabrik sold me an investment into flat (X1 Manchester Water) that was now delivered and now the developer went into liquidation. The deposit that they took was very high and unprotected, it was passed to the developer and spent. Two towers were not build and now they claim the money is gone. Fabric and X1 ignored all communication and official letters for past 6 months presenting standards of a 3rd world country.
The customer service is great before they take your money, after that they simply ignore you.
I had a really bad experience with Fabric Property Group and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The worst thing is that Fabrik keeps selling with the smile on their face like nothing has happened.

Fabrik Property Group sell promises on behalf of companies like X1 Developments who are in frank breach long stop date on our contract and refuse to acknowledge or return the deposit. So far all we have is empty promises and their "partner" now in administration. Hundreds of thousands of Pounds disappeared.

The representative of this company gave advice which has turned out to be contrary to reality at every turn with regards to new builds, mortgaging and ownership. If not for me complaining directly to the CEO of Fabrik I would have still had no response or input from Fabrik! We may never see our deposit again, but hopefully this saves others from making the same mistakes.

Lynne Whittingham was excellent in the serice she provided.

We had a fantastic experience with Lynne at Fabrik Properties, she went out of her way to help us secure a new home in St Albans.

Thank you

Worked with Lynne Whittington on many developments since Covid. Have found her to be very tenacious, responsive and goes beyond normal to help a client. Absolute pleasure dealing with her

I have only good experiences working with Lynne. Her attention to detail and timely responses are second to none. She is a quick thinker and gets things done quickly. Nothing is ever too much

I have only dealt with Fabrik a handful of times. Lynne & Matt are always very helpful with any information I need.

I would highly recommend them both!

I was introduced to this project through Fabrik Property Group.

The developer presented to me has failed completely. The project was marketed with clear timelines and expectations, but nothing has been delivered. No construction, no completion, no returns.

As an investor, you rely heavily on the due diligence and credibility of the party that introduces the deal. In this case, that trust was misplaced. The result is a total financial loss, with no realistic recovery options available.

What is most concerning is that the developer involved appears to be linked to other failed projects, suggesting this is not an isolated incident. Once your money is in, you have virtually no leverage and very limited protection.

My experience shows that being introduced to a project via Fabrik Property Group does not guarantee safety, accountability, or proper risk control. I strongly advise anyone considering an investment through this firm to conduct independent legal and financial checks and to fully understand that you may lose your entire investment with little recourse.

Fabrik have been fantastic to work with and I can't praise Lynne highly enough. Extremely hard-working, professional and always a pleasure to deal with!

Great experience working with both Lynne and Hollie.

My company sourced a buyer for a property in Dockside, Liverpool for Fabrik. I worked with both Lynne and Hollie and found them to be extremely helpful and proactive throughout the whole process.

Both were always on the end of the phone or on whats app whenever needed and were really calm and efficient when the sale became a liittle bit tricky at the end. We've now completed and I have a happy buyer and wouldn't hesitate to use Fabrik again.

I worked with Scott from Fabrik Property Group when purchasing an off-plan property investment in Manchester called Viadux which is now completed and rented.

Scott and the Fabrik team were incredibly patient, professional, and informative throughout the entire process and provided us with valuable insights into British market that we found very helpful.

I had mixed experiences with Fabrik Invest. Initially, the team was very informative and helpful during the sales process. However, after paying the deposit for the Property X1 Media City Manchester, issues began to arise. There were delays in the project's start without clear communication from Fabrik, and I often had to chase updates myself. Despite poor communication, a recent Zoom call with senior staff showed efforts to resolve the situation, promising better updates. On the positive side, the initial guidance and the professionalism of staff like Matt were commendable. Overall, there's room for improvement in communication, but there are also promising aspects.

It's soo good

X1 media city now in Administration so no hope of getting my deposit back. Feel incredibly mis-sold by Fabrik and X1. With no communication from either of them...

Initial sales was great, very informative and helpful. Property X1 Media City Manchester was scheduled to complete Q3 '24 with backstop of Q4'25. However it went downhill very quickly after the deposit paid. The "suggested" legal company after 3 months and money paid decided they had too much work on and pulled out of the sale. This must have been known at the time Fabrik suggested them. Then the development has not even broken ground..... Fabrik failed to communicate any issues regarding this or high light the potential delay. It was only after I did some research and contacted them did they admit yes there was a delay. I have repeatedly asked for updates which have been provided only when I have asked then I am told I will be updated when there is any more news but every time I have to ask. The communication for any news is horrendous even though I am supposed to be on their mailing list for updates (which never happen) but I do get their sales offers!!! 35% deposit down and a delay which will be over 2 years late at BEST. No income or capital growth coming for 2+ years when I should start getting some return in 2024...Do not touch Fabrik - there are more professional companies out there.

Update 04/09/24
I had a zoom call with Dan Harburn (Senior property consultant) and Steve Jacob (CEO) yesterday which was informative. They have explained that they have a supplier problem in the form of X1 for communications. Fabrik team stated that they will pass on more information when they have it and they are trying to work out a solution for me. I will have to see what options are on the table.

Update 06/06/2025
For the past months I have been in discussions with Fabrik to review what options are available for me. The project from X1 seems to now have funding again and ground has been broken on site. Neither of which guarantee that the tower will actually be built but is some progress and shows an element of intent. A new backstop date and project plan with timescales is supposed to be in communication with solicitors (from start of May) however I have not received anything to this effect. Ongoing discussions with Fabrik who have been working hard for me to either get a full refund from X1 when they sell my unit to someone else or depending on how the project goes I continue with my investment on the hope that it gets completed. The Fabrik team have continued to be responsive and I am appreciative of their efforts. Will have to see which solution is best for my situation.

Update 04/07/2025
After considerable discussions regarding the progress or lack thereof for X1 block D it appears that construction may finally be taking place. Dan and Dale have been helpful in their ongoing support regarding the issue. Communication has been improved from the initial start point, there are still slow and in-consistent updates from the supplier X1 regarding progress.

It's has a good network

When I signed the ‘unfriendly’ Reservation Agreement at the beginning of the purchase process and paid a non-refundable deposit, I was quite wary of Fabrik, but as Michael and Ashton assisted me with all my concerns and needs, I realised that Fabrik was really doing everything to provide me with whatever I required and at no extra cost to me. Michael even took videos of the apartment, marked all changes on the plans, arranged for my lease agreement with my tenant to be drawn up and signed, and so on.
Both Michael and Ashton were really proactive in all respects, addressing my concerns and taking all pressure off me.
So yes, I would do business with Fabrik again without any hesitation, and can recommend Fabrik with confidence. Their service is truly commendable.

Henal and Ashton made our first property investment experience a walk in the park. They helped simplify the process for us, negotiated on our behalf and got us a great deal. Fabrik are really the place to turn to, no matter the budget. They don’t push you into unnecessary high risk investments and they really listen to what you want to achieve with your investment and help you get there.

If you're considering investing in UK properties, I highly recommend Fabrik. Working with Mike and Ashton has been exceptionally smooth. From selecting the right property to the exchange of contracts, the entire process has been seamless. Highly recommended.
