Here is the officail status on Gerrards Cross from a lawyer working for the UK authority. http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/status_of_land_in_gerrards_cross To summarise the points made The land is protected green belt The local authority has allocated building land through until at least 2026 so does not need to develop in the green belt. The council will defend the Green Belt. They give this comment on their website "Please give serious consideration to the above points before purchasing any plots advertised as an investment opportunity. It is likely that they are not." In addition the UK land registry say the land is being registered by those wishing to "buy a piece of britain" not as potential building land. It would seem that at some of these hotel sessions Jardin Smith are offering a "free" Apple Ipad to those that sign up for this land . It seems likely that the IPad will turn out to be worth more than the land so perhaps the offer should be free land with a very expensive IPad.

I did not run down JSI but merely warned people to be careful and to understand all details before entering into any investments.

There are just too many unanswered questions. Hi Stephen – It was for this reason that I opted not to consider the land investment scheme. There are just too many unanswered questions.

If all land increased at a steady 12% there would be no need for any other investments. Jardin Smith offer land that is mainly protected land under UK law and very difficult to gain conversion to building land. Do not accept generalisations. There is a a lot of useless investment land in the UK so make sure you arent buying it at a highly inflated price. “land continues to appreciate at a steady 12% per annum which makes it a more profitable investment compared to many others”
