Since the late 1970's, respected institutions and experts have compiled numerous statistics and statements proving that land prices have increased faster than house prices in the UK. Greenfield, greenbelt and agricultural land is far less costly than land with planning.
The concept and practice of buying land without planning/rezoning and "holding" is nothing new and has been practised by major developers for generations.
However, changes in socio-economics, demographics and immigration has greatly increased demand, and coupled with the fact that people have never been so well off financially, has made land ownership easily accessible to many people. Of course, this had previously been the domain of the very wealthy and the institutions.
Our expert consultant and partners research extensively the areas likely to be rezoned or achieve planning approval. Obviously, large profits are realised on rezoning, that is precisely why land with planning approval is so expensive to purchase.
Due to increased demand, most experts agree that land prices will continue to soar for the foreseeable future.
