Rockend Estate: District Valuer and the Price of the Land: TOO HIGH: The question of the Torquay Council’s acquisition of the Rockend estate was referred to last evening’s meeting of the local authority, when the Town Clerk reported that he had had an interview with Mr. F. W. Pinsent, the district valuer, who had made a careful examination of the Rockend estate with the Borough surveyor. He was informed by the District Valuer that the price asked by the owners of the estate was considerably more than the price which he would be prepared to recommend to the Minister of Health to sanction a loan. The District Valuer had also considered the smaller area which might be called the cliff paths and walks, and again in that case the price asked by the owners of the estate was considerably above the price he would be prepared to recommend to the Minister of Health to sanction a loan. It was not competent for him to disclose in public details of the District Valuer’s figures, nor would it be fair to the owners of the estate to do so. … (continues) … Council’s last meeting, the interview with Mr. F. Pinsent valuer, the best that he would be able to do would be to take off a smaller cliff and walk again that price by the estate … …
