In the past, land for sale was only made available to a closed circle of individuals, typically property developers and landowners.
Investing in plots of land is a simple and hassle free alternative to buying into the property market and as a result, the number of land investment opportunities has increased enormously.
So why is land investment such a good idea? The answer – the basic economic principle: supply and demand. There will be no more land made or built. It is a finite resource.
Because it is a finite resource, it naturally increases in value regardless of planning or building. In short, the supply of land for sale is limited, but the demand for it will continue to rise, which has been seen here in the UK in recent years amidst the housing boom.
