Anyone see Watchdog last night ?

They featured this scam where companies were advertising and selling off plots of land which would increase massively in value IF planning permission was ever granted there for housing development. So you had these absolute MUGS buying up plots of land, mostly within green-belt areas in and around Surrey and Kent, basically on the offchance that the land would eventually be earmarked for development by the government to ease the "growing housing crisis". One woman paid over £30,000 to this company for a few acres, thinking she'd be coining it in 5-10 years time, only to be (predictably) told afterwards by the local authorities that there was not a cats chance in hell of planning permission for housing ever being granted there.

Some people must have shit for brains. They could have visited this board to see what a bastard it is to get permission to build ANYTHING nowadays. :shootself

serves them right - pure greed at trying to make an easy profit,
with no care for the environment or the green belt land that they would be happy to see housing states built upon.

What losers.

If money's your thing there are easier ways to make easy money.

Just today I sent off £5,000 to a Nigerian bloke who's going to put $7.5 million dollars in my bank account next week. Simple.

Nice one Deano, I'm expecting one of those cheques any day now as well. :D

I just cannot believe how easily some people part with substantial wads of cash. Surely common sense would tell them to at least do a bit of their own fact-finding before they splash out on their muddy field that they dream will one day be full of penthouses. The idiots who just swallowed the sales pitch about how certain planning permission would be for the sites absolutely deserved to lose their cash.

Fools.

I think that's the same company that the Albion bought the Falmer site off...

Think it is the same company that is owned by the guy wanting to buy Wrexham.
