    i buy home building and renovating and they are related to plotfinder. Their listing in the back of their magazine which they tout as being from their db is so shit and out of date, i almost feel like writing to them to complain.

    It is like they are creating listings from old munged data.

    utter shit.

    the magazine is good though

    you could try http://www.uklandsearch.com, dave i have username and sub if you are interested

    I’m very sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with the Plotfinder.net website. We take the feedback of our users very seriously and recently redesigned the site to reflect the comments and suggestions that we received from our visitors and subscribers.

    The Plotfinder.net team work very hard to make sure that plots listed on the site are available and correct and work tirelessly to ensure that they contact all agents and private land owners within the site very regularly for updates.

    The free demo on the new site gives visitors the opportunity to search within the live database for property that matches their requirements, so they can see before they buy, the type of property listed on the site.

    The listings held within Homebuilding & Renovating magazine are indeed just a small sample taken from the live database, but as the magazines says ‘Details may now be out of date’ due to the production and printing times involved with publishing a magazine. So are really only intended to give people an idea of the type and price of property available in their area.

    I am very happy to deal with comments regarding Plotfinder.net either via this blog or via the comments page on Plotfinder.net and would value suggestions, feedback or help with any problems encountered.

    couldn’t agree more with the above comments. plotfinder was a total waste of time and money. the plot we went to see didn’t begin to resemble the one advertised.
