I've been trying to find reasonabley priced Mooring land and a Narrowboat unsuccessfully due to scammers.
First Mooring Land Kent
"Mooring land for sale Maidstone Kent".
Those were the words used for the Google search that led me to mooringland.info
I scanned the pages noting the reasonable price of £1000 per metre. Excited as it was the ideal price for my budget and that area of Kent is beautiful. The website stated that a holding fee of £200 was required to hold the land, payable to a Solicitor so with that I headed out to view.
After visiting the land as the address details were on the site , checking the map I noted that most of the land was still available.
I tried ringing Mr Hatswell unsuccessfully so opted to email instead asking which parts were available. His response was the land priced at £1300 per metre is no longer available but I can purchace at £2000 per metre. Even as I write his website still state £1000.00 per metre is still available. He then stated that most of the land is now sold though the misleading map on his site clearly showed this NOT to be so.
This is known, as BAIT ADVERTISING.
You are hooked in by a cheap price, invest time and effort to view often many miles away, then told the price is higher.
Beware of misleading advertising Mooring land for sale in Maidstone Kent.
NARROWBOAT AND MOORINGLAND
I then contacted Kelly Matilda Bryant regarding her advert for a narrow boat and mooring land. The following is the reply I got:

It is correct that the price has gone up and all known advertising states the correct prices. This includes the website to which all enquiries are directed and that asks for contact before viewing. Upon contact all viewing information, areas for sale and up to date price is given. Some companies highjack our advertising and do not update the prices.

It is true that the website has not been updated since the land price increase due to IT problems which we hope to resolve soon. However, the website says prices are likely to increase and the current price is made clear immediately on first contact by the potential customer, so little time is wasted. The website clearly states "Please check with me for the up to date situation". The site is over 90% sold, most of which has already been registered in the new owners' names and can be checked. We have had no complaints from any of the purchasers, indeed they all seem very happy.
