A Comprehensive Guide to Land Banking
Overview:
Land banking is an emerging investment strategy allowing smaller investors to own valuable land.
How Does Land Banking Work?
Large parcels of land are often too costly for individual small investors. When land suitable for residential or commercial development becomes available, it’s typically purchased by land investment companies or property developers. These owners hold onto, or "bank," the land until they are ready to sell or develop it. In the interim, they may divide the land into smaller, more affordable sections for private investors. Investors own the freehold of their plot and can sell it at any time. However, significant profits are usually realized once planning permission is granted.
What Are the Costs?
The cost for small investors varies based on the type, potential for development, and size of the land. Starting at around £5,000, you can purchase a sizable piece in a prime location. Larger or more prestigious plots are available for those willing to invest more, with parcel sizes tailored to different budgets.
Is Buying Land Complicated?
Buying land is simpler than purchasing property, although it involves a legal contract. It's advisable to have a solicitor review the contract. Due to its straightforward nature, a land purchase can often be completed within 28 days.
Can I Sell the Land?
Typically, buying land also means acquiring the freehold, allowing you to sell it at any point. While most investors hold onto their land for 2-8 years to maximize development profits, you have the flexibility to sell whenever you choose.
