UK Land Investment versus Overseas Property Investing
Buying UK Land has been the choice for many top investors until the UK government has stated it will not allow any greenbelt or greenfield land to be developed for future housing. Many investors are now holding land that can never be built on due to the restrictions imposed by the UK government.
There are thousands of investors that have bought land in the UK, hoping that they will gain planning permission in the near future. Thus, hoping for a huge return on their investment. One must thread carefully when approached by any UK land investment companies or land banking companies as they refer to themselves.
Buying land can generate substantial returns in the long run, if you are willing to wait it out for 20 to 30 years or perhaps longer. The returns can generate 1000% on your investment.
