• Previously aiming for 1 million new homes to be built over the next 20 years, the

slowing. As land is a scarce and tangible asset, it is less likely to reflect the collapse in value that stocks and shares

have experienced over recent cycles. Given all of this information many well informed clients are now choosing land over

other investment opportunities.

WHY BUY LAND
• For short to medium term capital growth, up to 10 fold returns

have been achieved on land that has been given planning consent for housing development
• It is a low risk purchase as

land does not deteriorate and is unlikely to depreciate
• Land prices are being forced up due to the scarcity of

residential land

resource and with an ever-increasing population both its demand and value continue to grow. The scarcer the commodity the

more valuable it becomes.
