Farmland for Sale

As you would expect, farmland for sale in the UK is land that is used for farming purposes such as producing cereals, milk, dairy products and livestock. Farmland that has no attached buildings such as cottages, farm houses and farm buildings is usually classed as agricultural land or ‘bareland’.

The price of farmland for sale surged at its fastest pace in the history of the RICS' Rural Market Survey. According to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors the price of farmland in the first half of 2008 rose by a staggering 24% from £10,439 to £12,965.

Farmland for Sale

This incredible price hike is largely due to the entrance of investors and non-farmers into the farmland market. As is the case with ownership of private woodland, owning farmland is an increasingly popular and prestigious lifestyle option for city folk looking for a countryside hideaway.

Additionally the massive price increases in land rival the residential sector and this has caught the attention of many investors who now view farmland for sale as a strong investment vehicle and a valid alternative to property or shares. Although prices are rising, farmland is still relatively affordable and therefore open to investment from institutions and private investors alike.

These factors, together with a general shortage of supply due to widespread lack of confidence in the commercial farming sector, have led to the dramatic increases in value of farmland for sale and experts say that investment by non-farmers will continue to soar.

Another factor worth considering is the current UK housing shortage and the new government housing targets which may involve considerable development on both brownfield and greenfield land. Farmland for sale that is located near existing residential areas may be a shrewd investment, if in the future the land is re-designated for residential use.
