Restrictive convenants
Given LHUK nolonger exists, does anyone know if the restrictive convenants / TP1 agreements are still valid? Plus does any know if the Uckfield site is actively being farmed? If not, I believe we have some great opportunities if we can get all plot owners to found a co-operative to use this site to generate some revenue. Every cloud has a silver lining, the returns will just take a little longer...

Dear Successbelly
I fear Hambrook and Greenstock may go the same way. I think they are in liquidation and I'd be amazed if the money had not already been squirreled away elsewehere. I actually have the Land Registry certificates for 3 of the 4 I purchased, so I guess I am the legal owner. Interested in your idea, but if LHUK are the same as H&G (i.e. always retain a slice of the site) so I wonder who now owns LHUK land plots? Keep in touch...

Dickie,
Pls contact me on successbelly@gmail.com. 2 heads are better than 1. I have bounced my ideas off the newspapers and BBC but they will only get traction if I can get a significant number of investors together. Speak soonest....

Hi Successbelly and Dickie, I have 4 plots on the H&G Sible Hedingham site, with Land Registry Title Deeds, so I'm assuming I actually own a couple of tennis courts in the middle of a field. I agree the only way to come out of this with anything is to band together, although not sure how to move forward? If anyone knows of a list of Sible Hedingham plot owners that would also be useful.

Hi there,
I like you have also been scammed! I have spoken to a solicitor and his comments weren't exactly positive. He said that as H & G are supposedly based in Switzerland it would be almost impossible to trace the owners to bring a court case together. And at £400 an hour it would possibly be a waste! I for one do not want them to get away with this and want us to band together and get some kind of compensation. This is a fraudulent crime and I have been advised to contact the police. If enough of us do this together they will have to investigate. If this happens we may not receive a full refund but we will make people aware of the crime and hopefully prevent this kind of crime happening again. contact me natasha.elliott@lr.org

Hi,
I am in the same boat as you guys. I have just received a letter from H&G AG stating that they will be going into Liquidation. I think the best way out of this is to band together and try to get planning ourselves. I have 1 plot in Sible which cost me approx. 5K.
Lets get together and do something about this crime!
Regards

Hallo everybody,
I'm one of the buyers at Sible Hedingham. I've invested for 15 plots that's £77.500,-- and I am afraid I'm a victim too. How can we work together in order to sell the land for a price that compensates our investments.
And how to prosecute Hambrook and Greenstock. They must not get away with this!!
Please react and let's get together!
Boris Nelissen, Holland
10. Boris Nelissen15/04/2007 16:20:17

I also bought land from hambrook and greenstock last year with the promise of a uplift of 360% clear profit in 3-5 years,i was very impressed with the salesman who sounded very posh and polite with good knowlege of land investments.I was told this has a 100% chance of getting planing.but no joy.the name i have from the emails i recieved is david winch,does anyone know where he is??lets all work together and tackle this.
12. Malcolm Hewling09/05/2007 18:00:57
I am also in the same boat. Bought 2 plots at Sible Hedingham and a plot at Marlow via Hambrook & Greenstock. They seemed very professional and all the paperwork was convincing. Not sure how we are going to get out of this mess, but i suppose by communicating and sticking together we may have a fighting chance - somehow. If all plot owners combined and apply for planning permission for future development.To be honest i am scraping the barrel and scratching my head.
I have contacted the British Consulate in Switzerland, but apart from giving me a list of expensive Swiss lawyers no other advice was given.
Another fine mess - sucker.
13. Paul Slingsby23/05/2007 15:42:57
I've been conned as well. Two plots at Sible Hedingham and two plots at Chalford. Not sure what to do about it but would be happy to be a part of any joint action.
14. Anita 28/05/2007 15:43:41
Hi
I bought two plots at Sible Hedingham. I am trying to put together a list of all the H&G landowners so that we can all work together. I have a few people already. If you want to join us e-mail me at neets35@aol.com. I am hoping to sort out a web-site in the near future.
Regards

15. Keith03/06/2007 12:22:57
Anyone out there got any info on the Land Hertage site at Boston, Lincs?
Is there an owners co-op? If so, I would like to get involved as I have heard nothing from anyone else

16. Craig07/06/2007 22:10:48
Hello All. I am also a victim here. However, I am also releived that I have been able to contact so many of you. I own 1 plot in Sibble Heddingham (approx 5K). Would be interested in pooling resources to gain a resolution to this. My E-mail Address is craig456uk@hotmail.com.
17. Claire Schimmer11/06/2007 22:22:18
Interested to see from Paul Slingsby that he has two plots in Chalford - is that Chalford Hill in Gloucestershire as I wasn't aware that any plots had been sold there even though I knew that Hambrook and Greenstock had brought the land?
18. G15/06/2007 15:59:43
I worked for H&G a while ago and I was conned but from the employee side. I was informed that all work that went on was ligit and all information was passed on to clients with the full intention of it being the truth. I was also conned out of wages. Now reading all of your messages I feel awful that I was a part of this, I can assure you that the employees I associated with were not aware of what was going on behind the scenes. I have tried to find the contact details to supply to yourselves for the owners but I feel that they used 'staged' names and they have now disappeared.

30. renton78928/10/2007 11:21:18
i'm really annoyed that H&G can get away with this. I was duped on a £5.5k plot. i only bought from them as they seemed v professioal and had exhibited at the IX investor show '06 in London. It would be nice for fair organisers not to promote shady companies like this.
how is the list coming along? my email is: renton789@hotmail.com

37. Shree Narayana08/01/2008 15:01:05
I own a plot in Sible Hedingham.
I would very much like to join the list to both
a) take any action possible against H&G or whoever
b) see whatever we can get back from the investment.
Please let know if anybody is taking any action in this group. If yes, I will send out my contact details to them.
Thanks and Regards

38. Rich H31/01/2008 14:12:42
I live in Alicante and bought 2 plots in Sible Hedingham. Looks like we have all been stitched up, but will endeavour to find out more as i am still in contact with some of the people involved in the sale.
39. Ren25/02/2008 15:44:54
I worked for them. If you need any help identifying these people please contact me and maybe i could help with the police etc. real scum bags. i feel for you all and feel sick that the uk government sits by and lets this happen. Just a thought but maybe you should speak to the council cos im pretty much 100% sure that they were given a back hander. Alot of the people u are looking for are on facebook. r
