Land With Planning Permission

We have access to Land that already has outline planning permission. Land with planning consent is more expensive than land that does not have planning consent since the applicant has taken the time and expense to turn their piece of land into a commodity that can be used straight away.  Capital Growth can still be realised from land with planning permission depending on pricing, strategic location and timing. For maximum profits when speculating in land, some investors prefer to consider land without planning permission.

Land For Speculation

Investing in Land has been an attractive alternative vehicle for investment that is commonly utilised by  property investment companies as well as privileged private individuals ‘in the know’. Speculating in land can provide huge profit potentials and opportunities, especially where there is a change of usage in the land. 

Under the laws of the UK planning permission is always required to develop your land plot. If you are deciding to develop your land yourself, build an extension or change the status or use of your land, permission and consent is always required from the local authority. Please note that we do not apply for planning permission on behalf of clients and hence do not operate any kind of collective investment scheme which gives all our clients the autonomy and flexibility with their newly acquired asset.

Just as in any investment there are risks involved when investing in land without planning permission. The first obvious risk is that planning consent may not always be granted as it can be difficult to obtain depending on the location. Hence it is important that the correct expertise is applied in locating suitable land sites. However this does not guarantee that the change of usage for your land will be changed. As a company we do not get involved in the process of changing the use of land. We always take into consideration factors such as proximity to existing developments and amenities around the land before taking a site on ourselves.

As with all investment vehicles the price of land can increase as well decrease and you may not always get back the original amount invested. As exit strategies in land investment may be limited or may not always be possible, the funds investors may set aside for this type of investment vehicle should be funds that investors can afford to speculate with.
As most of the land we buy and sell already has planning consent, we do not apply for further planning on behalf of our clients nor do we engage or operate collective investment schemes which we feel gives all our clients the most amount of flexibility and autonomy with their acquired asset.

Land Overseas

Investing in property abroad continues to represent a safe long-term opportunity for institutional investors as well as private individuals. Reports have shown that property prices have risen in the past 35 years despite short term market fluctuations. Overseas property investors have the opportunity to diversify their risk over several locations and the main factors that have contributed to a trend of investors owning a second home or investing across borders include higher earnings, increased domestic property prices, low cost flights, lower cost of living and better lifestyle overseas.
