  • Hillcrest Estate Management Limited (FRN 1029999) is an AR of Alexander Bonhill Limited (FRN 311714). When you use Hillcrest Estate Management's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Hillcrest Estate Management, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
