Hindsight in Land Investing
Author: plotofland // Category: Infrastructure // Comments (0) // Add CommentOur depth of experience in the North England land market has meant when it comes to the selection of potential sites, we simply adopt the same types of criteria as the construction companies and larger developers, our drawings are all comprehensive, real and are all sympathetic with council concerns – thus ensuring the minimum turnaround from the final plot being sold to planning and thus building.
This means that we turn down many more sites than we buy, which is good news for you, the investor, as the hard work, the timings and the checks are all in place – consequently the risk is at a calculated minimal.
We have to know that every site we seriously consider would be the kind of site sought after by the seasoned land-banking organisations; therefore our specialists closely adhere to strict criteria when selecting a potential site for purchase:
- Close to existing infrastructure in wealthy areas
- Road access – critical for business and general practicability
- High value investment – our plots exceed all the competitors for size
- Quality sites drawn to meet likely planning requirements
The following are also key important criteria:
- Environmental Searches (i.e.: areas of outstanding natural beauty)
- Local searches (e.g.: Brine, Water, Electricity, Flight paths etc)
Not only are we well versed in sourcing, checking and drawing upon the optimum land, we have a raft of expertise in plot ownership. We can create a plot owners company for each site we manage. This facility allows an owner to have their own representation if they so wish, but also allows for a more passive role if required while the elected Directors of the plot owners company represent their needs.
You as a client are kept up to date with any significant developments which may affect your land, thereby allowing you to participate in any decision making. This allows an exit strategy to become apparent – where you will find the land is a quite liquid asset due to the demand for sought after locations.
We strive to achieve success by being professional, and forward looking. In addition to providing leadership and a voice where it matters, our plot owners receive specialist advice when it is requested and access to an extensive and influential network of like minded people throughout the rural/urban economy.
