News
Release 11 June 2008
Royal Borough cautions land
purchasers to think carefully
Prospective
land purchasers should do their homework before signing on the dotted
line, the Royal Borough has advised.
The
warning follows a sales push in Wraysbury in which neighbouring residents
are being offered first refusal on plots of land on Manor Farm, commonly
known as Thames Field and Coppice Drive. Both
plots are Green Belt land and liable to flood.
In a letter from WES Ltd (Worby Estate Sales Ltd)
dated June 10, residents have been given until June 17 to purchase, after
which time the plots will be released for general sale.
The
council has issued general advice to anyone considering buying undeveloped
land:
- Seek your own independent legal advice on such
issues as ownership of the land and
payment of any deposit, and check
with the council on 01628 683810 to determine what types of
development you might be able to undertake
-
If
the land is in the Green Belt or at risk of flooding it is highly
unlikely to receive planning permission for development
-
Under
trading standards legislation that came into force last month, it is
an offence for a trader to engage in unfair or misleading commercial
practices. If you have any doubts about any of the advertising
material that helped persuade you to make a purchase, then contact the
trading standards service on 01628 683802
-
Consult
your neighbours, friends, parish councillors and ward councillors.
Cllr Alison Knight, lead member for planning and
housing, said: “I would advise any would-be purchaser to make careful checks before buying
land – for example, can the ownership be confirmed, is it in the Green
Belt or at risk of flooding.”
