The value of residential land has increased at double the rate of property prices over the last twenty years. Whilst prices for land in some parts of the United Kingdom are higher than in others, the gap is closing and with prices continuing to rise there is a tremendous potential return for investors from around the world.</p> <p class="text03">The United Kingdom is suffering an acute housing shortage, in the past, local authorities have prevented development by the restriction of planning applications. The Government is now starting to address the problem of housing shortage by reducing the power of the local authorities. At the same time the Government is now allowing Planning Permission applications on Greenbelt Land making even more land available for development. Increasing pressure for new housing has created the need to exploit new land development opportunities. The change in agricultural methods and Government policy is enabling land traditionally protected as rural and not developable, to now be considered for development.</p> <p class="text03">Purchasing land in the United Kingdom for foreigners is a safe and simple process. For many people this is the first step to building a safe and secure medium to long term investment portfolio for their future.</p> <p class="text03">There are many reasons why the U.K. provides good ground for Strategic Land Investment.
