UK Land Investment: Your opinion

    Hi!
    Off late, there has been loads of ads in varioud news papers and other media sources regarding land investment opportunities. The site is www.ukli.com. They claim that the average rate of growth of land in the areas mentioned is around 20% per year. And when the land is re-zoned, the value will go up by 7-800%, which is expected in 3-4 years.
    I wanted to check the authenticity of such claims as well as if the land that is claimed actually exists. Also, if someone has invested in any such plans, please share your experiences.

    Most liklely a scam.

    There was a field of farmland near where i live that was split into plots and sold cheap on the internet.

    This particular piece of land would never get re-classified, re-zoned or whatever they call it.

    It's the re-zoning that's the high risk - since it may or may not happen.

    Unless you are a property developer with experience in this niche, I would be wary. Either way, the old rule always rings true - never invest more than you can afford to lose...

    Eastern europe offers better returns at the moment imo, and that's just buying existing properties cheaply and refurbishing them, no worries about planning, just stability of the country. Choosing your locations well is the key there.

    That's an interesting concept, I've never seen it before. The ones in Kent don't seem in bad locations, one is just a few miles of the M25 and 30 mins from Heathrow. For less than £10k, it seems a bit too good to be true!
