Supply and Demand

As Mark Twain stated, “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore”.

The fact is that Britain is a small island, and land, like gold is a finite resource as we cannot make it anymore.  Well placed investors understand that strategic land makes sense in the mid to long-term and are taking advantage of the fundamental and economic principal of supply and demand.

“There is only a limited supply of previously developed land. Even with windfall sites coming forward, this supply will be insufficient to meet anticipated demand.”
