October is Landcorp International’s ‘Learn to Invest Month’. We will be sharing a 5-part expert guide to investing safely and profitably in development land.
Part 5, our final post, gives you 8 solid reasons why you should think about putting your cash into land over other investment types, taking into consideration the all-important risk vs. reward ratio…
- Development Land is Safe
Development land is a tangible asset that offers investors a safe, high performing investment option with a clear pathway to successful development.
- Land is a High Performance Investment Option
Land has consistently outperformed more traditional investment choices such as stocks and shares over recent years and is even showing better prospects than former bull commodity gold, now on the decline in terms of both value and demand.
- High Performance is Only Set to Continue
The constant high demand and finite supply balance of development land will only continue to push up prices of land that is zoned for development purposes.
- Development Land can be SIPP Compliant
Development land investment is eligible to be included in a SIPP, enabling you to look to the future by boosting your pension fund and protecting any increase in value from capital gains tax.
- Development Land is a Simple Investment Concept
Land is a relatively simple investment option to understand. Land value movements are based on the classic supply and demand balance and the ability to add value through development.
- Early Entry can be a Cost Effective Investment Option
Gaining early entry to a development land investment can offer the investor highly affordable investment options. Early entry also gives investors the possibility to earn the highest returns possible; the longer one holds onto the land and the more value that is added, i.e. through planning permission approval, will see the lands’ value increase significantly.
- There is a Global Housing Shortage
There is currently not enough housing across the globe to provide for the entire population. With the population growing at a phenomenal rate, this problem will only continue into the foreseeable future.
- Investment Portfolio Diversification
Land investments are an excellent option to add to any investment portfolio and may especially balance a portfolio that has other poorly performing investment options such as stocks and shares.
