The company is new, and i am not sure am i falling in a trap or not. You have any idea? People seem to believe everything....is there any solid evidence there to prove its a scam? they claimed we could get 12.5% gurantee return, is that true? we just bought the land in UK and have to wait a year to get the return......i need more information and formal & legal prove that its a scam, so i could stop my family and fds to put more money there..thanks!!

Land ownership does not change anything without planning permission (or zoning for people more familiar with the US way of doing things). You can formally ask planning for permission for anything. Asking does not confer any value on the land unless the answer is likely to be yes. Unfortunately some people and companies keep asking the same thing even when there is no chance of success for reasons that are not always to do with getting planning permission. This may be different from Singapore where perhaps people assume that formally being in process with the Government over land means a “yes” is likely. I can see why it might be confusing to a foreigner. Many of us Brits think that allowing spurious planning claims on land is a waste of our tax money. The UK process is public and you are free to ask any question you want. As an example. The application 073130 on the link below was actually made by the Strategic Land Planning Trust (part of the Profitable Plots Pte company or the Profitable Plots Group) for a site called Cherry Tree Grove. Colchester has one of the most transparent online planning systems. You can follow the process, ask questions, make comments and make your own decisions. You can also see who is for and against it and why. http://www.planning.colchester.gov.uk/WAM/findCaseFile.do?appNumber=073130 If your readers are thinking about investing it is a reasonable question to ask the land company the number of the UK planning application. Write to the council concerned and ask them for details on the application. People seem to be confused by the planning process in England.
