Opus wins Moneymaker battle

Opus Land has won Palmer Capital’s Moneymaker scheme, staged to raise funds for LandAid. The scheme, scheduled to tie in with last week’s LandAid Day, saw 12 entrepreneurial property teams worked tirelessly to grow a £250 stake into something much bigger. Using hard work, ingenuity and no small amount of poetic licence, the teams generated a collective £21,475.37 including £1,876 raised from a silent auction on LandAid Day itself. With an abseil in Birmingham, Opus Land topped the table, raising an impressive £6,841. Angle Property nabbed second place, raising £2,686 from a ping pong competition, while Wrenbridge finished third with a very respectable £2,400. Estates Gazette took a highly respectable 11th place.
