BBC News Reporting on Housing crisis and Pressure on Key Land Areas
As land is a scarce, limited and never been in as much demand - and now increasingly opened up with new legislation, not to mention an obvious tangible asset - it is far less likely to reflect the disintegration in stocks and shares values over recent years. For instance the “overall prices of land have risen by up to 30% in 12 months and 130% since the early 1990” reported by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors” in November 2004.
For decades, many large building companies have been buying up suitable greenbelt and Greenfield sites to place in their land banks. Therefore, buying a good piece of land before planning application means that you pay a much lower premium outset. This means that your return, as long as you are in a position to wait, can be extremely lucrative.
Our team & its alliances in fields of conveyancing, architecture, planning and law, helps ensures you as an investor, can own land sites close to infrastructure, inertia and in areas of high strategic value, in fact all of which are ear-marked and documented by local councils as such. Also our drawings are very real, and reflect actual size of plots and what they can accommodate in reality; in terms of the type and quality of housing to demand the highest return upon planning. We will confidently offer a piece of mind and will openly invite unknown architects to scrutinize our proposition(s) for scale, size and viability – can our competitors say that?
Our plots are certainly amongst the largest available in the UK (e.g. Average plot size in Tarvin, Chester is 535sq m or 5759 sq ft), and have been laid out in such a way to be aesthetically sensitive to the most exclusive type of home owner, such housing with better views and less crowding will certainly command the highest prices upon completion and thus reflect in what the building groups will bid and ultimately pay for the land.
Land and property has proven itself again and again, to be the smartest way to invest your money. It is no surprise to know that most of the wealthiest people are land owners or at least have a healthy land bank in their portfolio.
The UK has witnessed unprecedented increases in land values during the last 20 years. These amazing increases have been in excess of twice the rate of property price increases. Demand for well positioned land is very high and prices are rising steadily as John Prescott keeps upping his stance on creating more housing by changing planning permission on greenbelt land.
Any investment has some element of risk, but simple economics dictate that when supply is limited, land values will keep rising over the long term
Over the years, it has been very frustrating for people who have wanted to get involved in this type of business, as the need for large sums of money has excluded most small investors, but here we are working hard at changing that.
Throughout England and Wales, with specific emphasis on Cheshire, Shropshire and Lancashire, our sites all have a lot going for them. Some of the sites are ideal for an investor who wants to sit and hold on to a site, while others are an excellent area for gaining planning in the near future, and if this happens you will see you investment grow very quickly.
This is your opportunity to invest in land, with not only ‘Sit and Hold’ potential, but also the potential for a Major Windfall.
