Oh, so you acknowledge that the listed price of £130,000 is the value? Thank you, so by extension you acknowledge that £7,000 was the sale price of the piece of beach. I'd also suggest you re-read my comment: land has value when it has planning permission. The £130,000 piece of land is valuable because it has planning permission that would allow a developer to sell a house for ~>£250k on it. The size and location of land is immaterial to the value of land unless the size and location increase the amount of money that can be extracted from the land -- typically through development. The entire point of my comment is that the desirability of land is not based on how cute it is (a slice of beach) but rather what it can be used for (even if it's in the middle of a housing estate). I'll stop commenting now because I'm just beating a dead horse (...or donkey, I guess your land could be used to offer beach front donkey rides, so that's something...). I wish you luck, it's clear you've been taken advantage of and that's unfortunate: if you come to your senses, there's lots of land all over the UK that is actually valuable, and once you cut off your current partners and partner with some legitimate property industry people instead, I am sure you can make a much better go of NFT property sales :) Good luck!

As noted the 7000 was a transaction fee. The land was part of a more complex deal. As for the rest of this: land gets planning permission when plans are presented - which is what property developers do for a living. I would not expect somebody to plank down >1m on an asset they had no idea how to utilise: the expectation is the land will sell to a developer who is ready to go through that process. What else would anybody do with it?

  Nobody is going to buy it for >£1m because it's worthless. That's the point. Although at this point I am not sure what your story is, if I understand it correctly, you're saying West London Lets bought it for >£1m with no idea what to do with it...? Except they didn't, are you finally going to give up that charade given that you can see the purchase price on your own website?

If you're going to lie, at least make sure your own website doesn't betray you :) Or, going back to the original point about stamp duty, the alternative is that your partners engaged in fraudulent reporting to evade stamp duty and your comments here are exposing them.

    As noted, we have an independent valuation on file. And the 7000 was part of a more complex transaction. You simply don’t know what you’re talking about. You cannot buy a chunk of English coastline for 7000! That’s just batshit. On your bike mate.

      A complex transaction that took place through a single public listing at an auction house. That’s exactly how complex property deals happen. Unfortunately, you’ve said I would have to sign an NDA to get more info from the seller which would make the whole exercise pointless. I will make an alternate offer: I will pay £10,000 to the charity of your choice if you show documentation that proves the land has been independently valued at more than £1m (by someone accredited) and that the land was purchased for more than the amount shown on the land registry. I am sure, in the cold light of day, tomorrow, you’ll realise you’ve been had and you’ll have to have an awkward conversation with West London Lets where they reveal that actually it was purchased for £7k and actually they’ve valued it at £1.9m based on the assumption it can get planning permission and then you quietly remove all the posts about it from your website and pretend this never happened. I won’t hold it against you, but do implore you to reconsider your approach to who you work with. With partners like West London Lets, who needs competitors?

        I believe I have a solid hypothesis for what happened there https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33889445 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33889445 If they indeed ordered a valuation for the whole plot as they did with the environmental assessment, it explains both the "£1M+ independent valuation", the £7k sale, and what the actual piece of land is. I'm very eager to hear what leashless has to say.

        If you want to proceed down this path, I'd be very happy to take your ten grand offer to charity. I have a valuation report, and I have details of the prior transaction. I'm 100% sure that you have no intention of actually parting with your ten grand, but allow me to repeat myself here: actual real estate lawyers put this thing together, the land has a solid set of documentation including a valuation, and you're just trolling because you don't like blockchains and want to pretend you have expertise that you plainly do not. So if you actually want to put ten grand into a charity, feel free to email me and we can arrange the details. We'll do a nice press release about your generous gesture and everything! We're a serious team: mostly middle aged, mostly backgrounds doing pretty serious life-or-death work for the State. My MD worked on TB and HIV epidemiology in prisons preventing spread in prisons and to the community. I was a disaster planner working on worst case scenarios at the Pentagon and for a UK military think tank headed by a former UK Minister of Defense. Our CCO was commercial director of the UK home office for many years. Not a bunch of hicks, and not some fly-by-night operation. Seriously people who do serious work. Do email us about that ten grand. I think there are a couple of groups we would like to make a large donation to this Christmas. Appreciate your engagement, but we do have the documents, and your plain desire for us to be amateurs and idiots is your problem, not mine. Are we taking your money, or are you slinking back into a hole?
