UK Property

Property and land have traditionally been 2 of the most secure investment vehicles in the UK. The need for housing in the United Kingdom is currently greater than the supply making UK property an excellent investment. There are a variety of factors that impact on the price of real estate in the UK, but the most obvious and significant one is that there is a limited amount of land available.

Since land is a finite commodity its growth in value is relatively certain. There are many real estate investment opportunities in the UK, but investing in ‘Green Field’ sites is becoming one of the most attractive to investors.

Green Field sites are vacant land located between towns and Green Belt land. This type of land is typically used for agriculture and forestry, but is not subjected to the same stringent regulations as Green Belt land. Green Field land has been identified by the UK government as a solution to the lack of suitable land for housing developments. This land now benefits from speedier planning approval. Green Field property value has seen a growth of 20% over the last year making it an excellent investment even without planning approval. When approval is attained the value of the property can increase by up to 300% making it an excellent short term property investment.

Investing in Green Field property in the UK requires carefully targeting land that meets all the requirements that the government looks for when granting planning permission. Buying land without development rights can be very cheap. Once permission is received to develop the land the value of the land increases exponentially.
