Experts in buying land
For most individuals, buying a plot of land for the first time can be a daunting process. That is where Swoop Finance can help you.
Swoop Finance and our partners have developed an easy, new way for individuals to buy land with planning potential, expertly and effectively.
Why invest in land?
|
Land is a tangible investment with prices ranging in the UK from £5,000 to £3,000,000. |
|
|
The value of land can increase from £10,000 to £270,000 once a house is built upon it. This drastic change in price is due to demand being far greater than supply and the value of the land gaining planning permission. |
|
|
Land investments have seen some of the largest returns for investors. When land is purchased without planning permission and then granted planning permission, its value increases massively. |
|
|
Farmland prices have risen by around 30% in the last year and 130% since the 1990s. |
|
|
In the past twenty years land prices have increased faster than house prices in the UK. So no matter what is done with the land, the price is still likely to increase significantly. |
|
|
Land investments have constantly performed better than traditional stocks and shares. |
|
|
Over the past ten years the value of land has risen by 370% (FTSE100- 51%, FTSE All Shares-56%, NASDAQ 109%, S & P 500 110%, Land 370%) Source: The Valuation Office Agency, Financial Times |
|
|
Purchasing greenbelt, agricultural and forestry land is not a new concept. It is cheaper and more profitable to buy land prior to planning requests being accepted. Due to this fact, large companies have been acquiring these types of land for years. However, this is not only for large companies. The general public also has access to the same opportunities. |
|
|
Land will continue to increase in value along with its increasing demand, but the best news is that the government has recently said that even more greenbelt land will be available to build upon. |

The strategic land buying team makes all the difference
Swoop Finance has teamed up with one of the largest land retailers in the UK who have built there reputation by providing down-to-earth advice, based on local insights.
In order for us to succeed, we believe that you have to have people 'on the ground', where you are actually buying the land, to be able to offer purchasers the very best advice.
It is a winning formula that has paid off.
Our partners have over 20 years experience working with some of the country's biggest house builders such as George Wimpey Homes PLC. This provided extensive experience of identifying the very best sites with planning potential.
Many of the land buying team either have similar experience or have worked within the planning departments of local government councils. |
