Who Are Alderley Group?
Alderley Group Limited presented itself as a developer of social and affordable housing in the North West of England, building schemes in partnership with housing associations.
Investors were invited to purchase unregulated loan notes offering fixed returns of between 10% and 17% per annum. These investments were marketed as safe, socially responsible investments backed by the strength of the UK affordable housing sector.
It is now estimated that loan note holders have collectively lost more than £30m.
The company was placed into administration on June 9, 2026.
Many investors were introduced to the opportunity by New Capital Link, a London-based alternative investment introducer.
Investors are told that their money is secured by a first charge debenture held by Bluewater Trustee Security.
On Alderley Group’s website it says it has completed five projects, has four current projects, 672 homes in development and eight upcoming projects. The group claims that its gross development value totals more than £197m.
The website states: “Our mission is to deliver affordable housing that exceeds expectations, helping to support local communities and the environment, ensuring we are acting responsibly.”
According to Which? magazine, Alderley Group’s own small print disclosed that up to 20% of investor funds could be used to pay marketing firms, with a further 20% going on running costs – potentially leaving only 60 pence in every pound to generate the promised returns. Despite this, the scheme continued to market returns of up to 17% per annum as achievable and secure.
Which? magazine raised concerns about this type of social housing investment scheme.
On May 8, 2026, a petition was entered into the High Court to wind up Alderley Group Holdings (2019) Ltd. A previous attempt to have the company struck off was discontinued according to a filing which appeared on Companies House on April 14, 2026.
