Ciaran Maguire Group Disassociates Itself from PCI
Ciaran Maguire claims to have sent this email to us back in October when we first queried him about the company's connection with PCI (see previous stories), but we certainly didn't receive it then, nor did we receive it after a further email to the company in November. In fact we received no response of any description from him. We remain sceptical that it was sent, but will have to take his word for it.
It is particularly strange that the email says that "Ciaran Maguire Group are very much looking forward to delivering the first sets of keys in the second quarter of 2012 to our Palm View clients." when at that time on his Blog the PV Construction Schedule (which was still there at time of writing this post) states that completion would be in mid-December 2011, there's never been an update to this on the site - at least not yet. In fact there haven't been any updates at all since last September. Also, a sales agent for the Boa Vista Palm View Resort development claimed to have sold €5m of Palm View apartments at the Property and Investor Show in the UK in early November, stating on November 10th in its blog that the development was set for 'completion in December of this year'. This seems totally at odds with what Ciaran claims he sent us in an email early in October. Surely he would have informed all agents selling Palm View of such a large change in completion date. He would certainly have been far more likely to tell them than he would be to tell us.
The moving of this completion in Cape Verde to May 2012, while deposits are being collected for a new project in Fond Bay, St. Lucia, and while previous clients in Cape Verde who have asked for their deposits back remain unpaid, may draw criticism in some sectors.

In order to offer balance here is the email from Ciaran Maguire (which he claims was sent last October) exactly as it was received by us today, January 18th 2012.
"In response to your email, I can confirm that Ciaran
Maguire Group had terminated all agreements with Provident Capital
Indemnity over 14 months ago. We originally entered into an agreement with
Provident Capital Indemnity over 2 years ago however when we realized the
seriousness of the allegations against Provident capital Indemnity we quickly
moved to dissolve all agreements. It has to be noted that PCI was introduced to Ciaran
Maguire Group by the most reputable broker in the market, the London based
broker have also ceased relations with PCI.
At the start of 2011 the Company set up conferences
in London and Manchester and met with all of the Palm View
clients to give them an exact status report as it is Ciaran Maguire Groups
main objective to protect the interest of our clients. At the meetings, Palm
View clients were made aware of the new 100% finance option in place of the PCI
bond and also the news that we had taken over of a previous scheme in Boa
Vista, this scheme has been re designed and re branded to the Palm View Resort.
The takeover has proven to be very successful. We are on target to complete
phase 1, (block A and F and the Palm View Hotel) in the second quarter of 2012.
All of our Palm View clients have signed up to the new scheme as well as a
considerable amount of new sales with phase 1 being sold out and is currently
85% built. There is no doubting that the Palm View project endured frustrating
delays as indeed all developments were affected during the difficult global
recession but Ciaran Maguire Group are very much looking forward to
delivering the first sets of keys in the second quarter of 2012 to our Palm
View clients.
As previously mentioned, I would be happy to make
myself available to meet with you and furnish you with all relevant
documentation such as Palm View land title, Palm View building permits, details
on the 100% finance and indeed funding in place for Palm View Cape Verde and
further projects, it would certainly clear up any queries you may have on Palm
View. I leave for the UAE on Thursday the 20th and then on to Cape
Verde till the 7th of November but am available prior to
my departure and indeed on my return."

He's at it again, check out http://palmviewresortstlucia.com
this site basically features travel brochure shots of a tropical island, could be anywhere. Also pics of swimming pools etc: etc: if you saw the Boa Vista website you know the drill, nothing built yet, just impressions and big promises. I love the 'Testimonials' page, glowing reports from people like Thomas Healy who apparently also bought in Palm View Cape Verde! A resort that has had 3 different locations and is still unfinished after nearly 4 years! This guy must have loads of money to waste, I would love to ask him about it but of course there are no contact details for any of the people who allegedly sent in these comments so you can't verify them. The site makes great play about been 'featured' on Myestate-agent.com this however is just an ad placed there by CMG, If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will find the following disclaimer:

Buyer beware! It's all smoke.
I would like to see from anyone, Ciaran Maguire Group especially, photos of Palm View progress to assure project investors as so many other developments do today.
I cannot believe this criminal Ciaran Maguire is selling property in KL. Now that he cannot do business in the Europe and even Middle-East because of his fraudulent projects he is now defrauding clients in Malaysia. Very sad!
Palm View Cape Verde is delayed by 4 years and this guy has never built a single apartment in his entire history as a developer. As of the post above I would like to highlight on the website most of the imagery is generic there are no real renderings of the project and also a wide range of images have been used from Palm View Cape Verde. Ciaran Maguire know how to put together pretty brochures and sell the dream but unfortunately the dream seems to remain a dream forever while Ciaran Maguire collects reservation fee's world wide.
