Hi there
I'm writing a news piece for Homebuilding & Renovating, reporting on
the worrying increase in the sale of these plots over the last year.
I'm looking for people who would like to be quoted within the feature,
and share their experience of buying – or almost buying – one of these
plots. Please get in touch at melanie....@centaur.co.uk
Many thanks.

Hi Melanie,
Bit late, but! Did you write your article on landbanking? I bought
some plots from PropertySpy a few years back and kind of wished I
hadn't now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I think what PropertySpy
were doing wasn't actually illegal, it was the extra add on service
that they were offering which implied it was running a collective
investment scheme., That's when the FSA got involved and PS ended up
becoming an online magazine. I believe they are now trading under a
different name. If you want any more info please let me know.
All the best,
Simon.

All
That pretty well sums it up, I believe.
Do we not have a leg to stand on because we purchased the land in good faith
knowing that planning permission was not guaranteed OR were we mis-sold the
land by a company running a collective investment scheme?
Is there any chance of getting our money back, or do we write it off as a
life experience?
