A series of land scams, particularly London Land Scams, have given a number of reliable land investment companies a bad name. But is the bad press that these London land scams have created really warranted? In the past companies around the South-East of the UK offered the investors the opportunity to speculate in agricultural land that stood little chance of gaining planning permission. This was not limited just to land in and around the London area. There have been examples of other land scams as well, viz. Kent land scams and Sussex land scams. But not all opportunities to invest in land with development potential are scams. There is a breed of more responsible companies that offer UK land investments that have the potential to earn investors exponential returns over the medium term. The growth in land values is driven by a number of key factors that are affecting land, housing and property development in the UK. One of these factors is a severe housing shortage in UK, creating an increased demand for land with the potential to build upon. It is estimated that about 400,000 homes will be required throughout the UK in the next ten years.
Investing in land around the London area and in Sussex or Kent is a highly plausible way of making potentially spectacular returns. And importantly the investor actually owns something a lot more tangible than shares, unit trusts or bonds. So fortunately, not all of these land investment schemes are like the London land scams, or the Kent land scams, or the Sussex land scams that we outlined earlier. If you find a highly professional land investment company - like UK Land Investments - you can look forward to excellent potential returns over the medium term.
So ultimately something good did come out of the London land scams, the Kent land scams and the Sussex Land Scams. Now at least it is feasible for ordinary people to be able to buy plots of UK investment land from a company that has its investor's objectives at heart.
