LAND VALUES
Pasture land prices in the region are 14% higher than the average as land values rose again last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy.
This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.
With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers. This is supported by the fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.
These rises are driven by historically low levels of land availability, as demand continues to outstrip supply.
LAND DESIGNATION
The land is Greenfield. Any development or change of use would be subject to the appropriate permission.
PLANNING
There are no current or past planning applications on the land.
LOCAL AUTHORITY
Buckinghamshire Council
NO OVERAGE
There is no overage or clawback on this land - rare in today's land market.
