LAND VALUES

Land values continued to rise last year and even managed to outpace inflation, according to the Knight Frank Farmland Index.


Following a 3% increase last quarter, farmland outperformed other asset classes such as gold, equities & residential property in the past 12 months.


This strong growth was driven by a continued lack of supply and strong demand from a wide range of buyers, particularly from those looking for natural investment capital to become self-sufficient or for environmental purposes.


With these trends looking to continue, the farmland market is set to remain strong.


METHOD OF SALE

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