LAND VALUES
Land values rose again last quarter by 2%, bringing growth over the past 12 months to 7%.

Once again land has outperformed other asset classes during this time especially at a time when most residential property prices fell.

A lack of supply and continued strong demand from a wide variety of buyers helped support these rising land values, despite the recent downturn in economic conditions as land continues to be regarded as a tangible safe-haven for investors.

Going forward, the outlook for the land market is positive as the trend of low supply and high demand look set to continue to drive up land values.

METHOD OF SALE
The land is offered for sale by private treaty. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.
