    I think it should remain, MSE ranks well in Google searches
    Indeed, so not only will MSE forum members searching for Landal Belvedere find their way here, but the Google indexing engine will direct those looking there for information about Landal Belvedere to this thread too.  I don't know how often people search for Landal Belvedere though....
    Problem is, the lawyers will get involved, hide behind defamation and take the thread and delete. has happened quite often unfortunately in this litigious world now
    Yes, it wouldn't be the first time, especially when the natural scepticism about companies like this spills over into outright accusations....

    Sounds a bit like what Dream Lodge we're promising. That didn't work out too well. Read this thread from start to finish and decide if you want to invest your hard earned money in something similar.

    Even those accusations are true,  such as the LCF drama when MSE deleted various posts regarding this when they first started out. Turned out to be a scam, but the MSE don't care, they never do, to think otherwise is  unrealistic. But to be fair they don't have the resources to fight defamation suits and nor would they fight on your behalf.

    It's easy to provide 8% income for some time, if you are prepared to forget about the safety of your original capital.
    It's even easier to provide 8% pa income if you're drip feeding people back their own capital. Just saying ... obviously that merry-go-round will stop well before 12 years, for what should be mathematically obvious reasons.

    But in the meantime they hope you tell all your friends and family about the amazing returns you're getting in those first couple of years!!!!
    Sounds like  a pyramid scheme. I think greed and ultimately capitalism is at fault though
    Why is capitalism at fault? It’s just an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production. You still have scams in a  communist economic system.

    Have they found a new use for the Storage Pods then? Or the Parking Spaces, maybe?

    Isn't greed a human trait rather than an economic philosophy.

    Isn't  it funny how the photos in the sales brochure shows the buildings in idyllic greenfield locations with no neighbours, boundaries, access roads etc. 

    Does every lodge really come with it's own 1 acre plot ?

    In Canada, quite possibly. 

    However in this instance I think the reality is more like this..

    Thanks for all your replies.
    I came across this while doing a Google search. I did believe this to be a too good to be true investment. And looking into forums I couldn't find any information to such a specific type of investment and thought I'll ask the question here. 

    This is not an advertisement for them, I am just doing my research.

    No, they don't let you use it for personal use. 

    For a lodge costing 55,000gbp, they pay you a rental income of 366 a month (all monies paid quarterly) and they gurantee for this for 5 years and and at the end of 5 years they add 10% uplift to your initial capital and pay your sums back.

    Just going through all the replies and answering questions.

    Like I said I agree it's too good to be true and if this is legit people would snap this opportunity up.
