Have you ever thought about investing in property but have not had the cash to invest? Well you can now become the “beneficial owner” of part of a plot of land and not pay a penny. To boot, you will be sharing ownership with the likes of Emma Thompson and Alistair McGowan.

The land, which you can see here, is now legally owned by Emma Thompson, Alistair McGowan, Zac Goldsmith and Greenpeace UK. The second stage of their campaign is to get as many people as possible to sign up to have a “beneficial interest” in the land. All you have to do is click here and enter your name and email address.
