Walk on it. Sit on it. Run on it. Unlike shares and other schemes, you can physically touch what you have invested your money in.
There will be no more land made or built. It is a finite resource to be tapped into by you.
Because it is a finite resource, it naturally increases in value regardless of planning or building.
In the UK the need for land suitable for residential housing has gone through the roof over the last 20 years and therefore so has its value.
Demand for new and more importantly affordable housing is by far outstripping supply. This has prompted the government to take action allowing this much needed development to happen.
What the Government has said.
Recently there has been a substantial change in the Governments stance regarding the release of land and the building of new homes. The Government has stepped in to ensure the local councils address the shortfall in housing. This has traditionally been a sensitive area for the councils. Re-designation of land for development is now tackled by Government.
3 Million New homes to be built over the next 20 years. This is a real target set by the Government. Speculation of the further release of greenbelt and greenfield sites has increased dramatically.
It is this housing situation that is sending the cost of land through the roof. This can only be set to continue as the population rises and housing needs rise. Land values across the whole of the UK have seen in excess of 900% increase over the past 20 years. It is true to say that no other form of investment has shown this kind of consistent rise. This is the reason that land is now seen as a prime source of investment, offering the most opportunities.
Underfoot Investments offers the opportunity of owning a piece of England by purchasing at the pre-planning stage, therefore maximizing the potential return at a later date. This has previously been only available to large developers or land owners. We are proud to be able to offer this to anybody wishing to invest. Land Banking is a proven concept, as developers have bought and stocked agricultural and green belt land for years. We select our sites as carefully as the large developers, ensuring the greatest potential for future planning permission.
Although we cannot state that our sites will gain planning permission, one thing is certain; because land is becoming scarcer it should not see the tumbling values that other forms of investment have seen.
So you can see; land is not only a great investment, it is now accessible and offers you a new opportunity for the future. |
