Re: uk land investments
I don't know much about the company. However I would not recommend buying land through such companies. The purchases are highly speculative. These sites are of no use unless you can get planning permission to build something on them. Planning permission is highly doubtful.
The 10% they are asking you for seems to be the initial amount for the purchase. If you pay that money you may be in a contract with them and should you wish to pull out you may ending up losing that money.
If someone is interested in buying land I suggest that you speak to the local council beforehand and find out if planning permission exists or is likely to be given.
Also bear in mind that with planning permission the sites would be far more valueable. It does not cost a lot to get planning permission. So why would someone sell a land without planning permission when they can sell it with planning permission for vastly more. The reason usually is that they cannot get planning permission.
