UK Land Portfolio and our partners source land in carefully chosen, strategic locations, which have a high need for housing. This land is then sub-divided into smaller plots and offered for sale as individual freehold plots, giving you an affordable opportunity to buy land in U.K.
The plots we offer for sale are generally adjacent to existing housing developments, which should provide the opportunity for sustainable development.
Whilst we believe that all of the individual plots we offer have the potential to be re-designated for development in the medium to long term, we wish to stress that the investment plots for sale do not currently have planning permission and should be viewed as an investment.
Why buy land in the UK? |
- Historical growth in the value of residential development land has beaten most other asset classes, including housing - over ten years to 2006 residential house prices rose by 410% whereas residential development land values rose by 764% (Source: Housing Statistics Briefing, English Partnerships, September 2006).
- UK Government commitment to increase the rate of house building from 150,000 per year in 2004 to 200,000 by 2016.
- UK Government commitment to release more Greenfield land for building – at least 40% of all residential development in the next few years will be on Greenfield land. Source: PPS3 (para 2 and 41) and general Government statements in response to the Barker Review (December 2006)
- We offer an affordable way to invest in a plot, from just £10,000

"Britain may soon weaken longstanding rules that have preserved "green belts" around towns and cities. A report by the energetic Ms (Kate) Barker, released in December, argued that farms and parks will have to be concreted over to provide living space for an extra 209,000 new households each year over the next two decades. One consequence is that firms may soon be able to buy land in suburb-sized chunks.
The potential change has sparked a flurry of interest in land adjoining towns and cities that may be reclassified. That seems to be shifting the balance of power from local builders to large firms with enough capital to buy rights to huge tracts of land. A sign of the shift, says Pete Damesick, head of research at CB Richard Ellis, is that even institutional investors with little previous experience are now getting into the game of speculating on town-edge land"
