Oh my god, looking at one of your reports [1] I just realised what could have happened

Please tell me you didn't get a valuation for the whole plot HP123436 instead of the sliver that is actually in that title and is described on the page! Because while the text on the page says HP123436 and the reports were ordered for it, you are not selling the whole patch, you're selling a tiny piece of it, otherwise you'd include a bunch of other properties like [2] that are indeed worth way more

Edit: or maybe that's by design, the "complex deal" you are talking about actually does include those other properties, and the matterium page is designed to make a sale of a much larger property look like a sale of a £7k property to avoid SDLT and a bunch of other complications, while going through a shell company that clearly doesn't have nearly enough money for the whole thing. Surely you aren't doing that?

That’s a great catch! That would also explain the “…part of a larger deal…”: the larger property (homegrange house: https://housingcare.org/housing-care/facility-info-18883-hom...) was up for sale and is a care home owned by the same seller (McCarthy) that sold the little bit of beach to West London Lets, so I think, if we are to believe that leashless is just mistaken, your theory holds up.

I can’t reconcile how it never twigged for him that a little bit of beach would be worth so much money and how he is so committed to the belief in the face of so much evidence, but I guess there’s some time required to swallow this big of a mistake — hopefully he’ll get an apology from West London Lets, and maybe do some due diligence in future…
