Latest plan to exploit the weakness of the property market

Citywire: New Pinder fund aims to exploit land market weakness and return 21%

Property investment firm Pinder Fry & Benjamin (PFB) is targeting returns of 21% with a new fund that will buy up agricultural land and sell it on for residential use. The PFB Strategic Land Fund will aim to buy up to 20 agricultural sites before securing planning permission to use them for residential development. PFB chief executive Ed Williams said the fund could exploit the weakness of the property market by buying the land cheap.

Not good.

Liberlise planning laws and introduce Land Value Tax, then vultures like this won't be able to make such easy money.

Britian becomes weaker by the day.

The exact opposite to what we should be doing. Short thinking continues unchallenged.
