Buy my land or I sell to travellers
Discussion
Folks,
A pub owner has attracted opposition to his plans to build a holiday park in the fields behind his pub.
He appears to be in major financial difficulties due to the failure of the pub to show a profit and has now said to local property owners whose homes border his fields that if they don’t buy his land which lies behind their houses then: “I will sell it to travellers who have offered £53,000". The value of the land for grazing is around £16-£20,000.
He has plans to knock down the pub and build properties on it which would likely be approved. When it was pointed out that if the land was sold to travellers with the usual Bank Holiday caravan invasion which would probably follow, his building plans would be ruined, he said that if the pub was repossessed then he would not be there to worry about the travellers.
This sounds to me like demanding money with menaces.
Is there any legal way to stop this nonsense?

This basically happened up the road owner implied that he would was going to sell to travellers for a high value, it went to auction, from my understanding 2 people neighbouring the field,told the auction people that they would go 5k over top bid, they paid 78k for 3.5 acres the chances of getting any planning on it are about little to nothing. but that would not bother trvellers as has been proven time and time again. to answer your question is there anything you can do....................i dont think so, if its for sale anyone can buy it

Send him an anonymous letter saying that nothing of the sort will happen. If he tries any such nonsense or acting out of turn, the villagers will pay the local smack heads to come and kill him to death.
A good death threat would probably get him thinking twice. Kidnapping.....etc.
Careful what you say!A good death threat would probably get him thinking twice. Kidnapping.....etc.

Don't be too sure.How much money would you have in your pocket if for the last decade you got paid in cash, never had to pay a penny in income tax, national insurance, council tax, utilities bills or rent?
I could hide £20k a year under my mattress if I could do that.

It is simple economics. The guy may be going to be bankrupt if he doesn't sell this land.
Would you lose your career and put your kids on the street whilst you own some empty land that you could sell!!??
Whilst I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, he is within his rights to sell to who he want, and of course sell to the highest bidder. If you don't like that, bid more.
It is a shi**er I know, but don't cut off your nose to spite your face. If he is not bluffing, share the land out, it will at least add some value to your house as extra garden if nothing else, and will stop your house being devalued by 30% by having pikeys smiling through your window whilst you are in the shower.

in the nearby field had been given permission for several "log cabins". The legal correspondent's response was a load of arse-protecting BS, effectively saying pikeys have a different set of (much softer) rules. It's great to know the law-abiding who pay the most taxes are so well looked after isn't it? If the authorities want the BNP to get more powerful, this is the way to go about it. 
They DO buy unfortunately,
A sale took place locally about three years ago.
(Althorp estates, Diana's Brother champangne charlie)
At auction the land mad easilly a third more than it was worth in grazing.
Later a teen-pikie turned up at auctioneers with a sainsbury bag stashed with readies.
The judge in the subsequent money laundering case, expressed dismay, that a respectable business would accept such payment.
