Free assessment for DB pension transfer, SIPP, and QROPS mis-selling claims for British expatriates in Cyprus with UK pension transfer claims. Four regulated routes to compensation.
Start your free assessment →Cyprus has a substantial British expatriate community, particularly in the Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca areas. International advisory firms operating in Cyprus targeted British expatriates with recommendations to transfer UK defined benefit pensions into SIPP and QROPS arrangements during the period 2010–2022.
Many of these firms operated under EU passporting arrangements or as unregulated entities. Where the adviser was not FCA-authorised at time of transfer, FSMA s.27 provides a direct civil court remedy independent of any FSCS investigation.
Fletcher v Options UK [2024] EWCA Civ 541 confirmed that UK FOS jurisdiction applies to overseas-arranged transfers into UK-regulated SIPPs. Cyprus-based British expatriates have full access to UK compensation routes.
Where the firm is still trading. Mandatory first step. 8-week response requirement.
Free independent adjudication. 55–77% uphold rate on DB transfer cases nationally.
Where the firm has been declared in default by the FSCS. Direct claims open.
£85,000 per firmWhere losses exceed the FSCS cap or FSMA s.27 applies. Uncapped recovery.
UncappedThe FOS applies a 6-year absolute clock from the date of advice and a 3-year awareness clock from when you first knew about your loss. For advice given in 2018 or earlier, the absolute clock has expired — but FSCS, civil, and awareness clock routes may still be open. Obtain a formal assessment immediately.
