I came across the following message on http://boards.fool.co.uk/Message.asp?mid=9711982&sort=whole Would be a great thing to check on to see if St James is even still in business at all. The website below for companies check only works during UK business hours I believe so I will check it tomorrow.
I've just had a quick look at the Companies House free WebCheck service reagrding St James Resource Management Limited, the company which is said to be the intermediary holding company.
This shows:
"Name & Registered Office: ST JAMES RESOURCE MANAGEMENT LIMITED 16 HANOVER SQUARE ST JAMES RESOURCE MANAGEMENT LIMITED, LONDON W1S 1HT Company No. 04400816
Status: Active Date of Incorporation: 21/03/2002

In addition, if you were to look for companies commencing "ST JAMES RESIDENTIAL" and "ST JAMES RESOURCE (PROPERTY followed by a number, you'll find many (about 30 or so) with the same registered office address and many of those showing either Dissolved or with overdue Annual returns.
