Farmland for Sale - an alternative investment vehicle

Last year witnessed the fastest rise in ten years of the price of farmland for sale in the UK. Part of this may be down to the fact landowners were keen to sell off land before April when rates of Capital Gains tax increased. Another contributing factor could be the scraping of the exemption of local business tax rates afforded to farmers for agricultural land and outbuildings, prompting many to sell off land at below market value to avoid high liability impact.

Land prices are still rising as farmers still looking to purchase agricultural land are now competing with UK land investors. Increasingly more UK land investors are viewing farmland as an attractive investment vehicle, particularly with the current credit card crunch and volatile markets.

With farmland supply fixed, this means the only variable is demand and subsequently price. As planning policy has now become more sympathetic to farmland development, due to the Government commitment to provide hundreds of thousands of new homes across the UK, seeing the relaxing of restrictions within the greenbelt. The result being, agricultural land currently valued at £4000 per acre could be worth up to £1,300,000 per acre with residential buildings consent.
