Land Prices

English farmland values rose by 3% in the fourth quarter of 2009 taking annual growth to 6.8%, according to the latest results of the Knight Frank Farmland Index.

Farmland prices increased by 164% during the last decade, compared with growth of 37% for prime country houses, 113% for prime residential property in Central London and a 22% drop in the value of the FTSE 100 share index.

The amount of farmland publicly advertised for sale in 2009 fell by almost 30% and this shortage of supply is helping to push up values as demand remains buoyant.

Farmland values are predicted to continue increasing this decade and could double in value again.

RICS Rural Land Market Survey H2 2009

The latest RICS Rural Land Market Survey reports that exceptionally low supply and rising demand for farmland has boosted land prices and expectations. In the South East land prices increased by 8% on average in the second half of 2009.

The consensus amongst surveyors is that a very thin market is likely to persist during 2010 and this in turn is expected to drive farmland prices even higher. Furthermore, with interest rates expected to remain low for the foreseeable period, there is increasing interest in farmland from non-commercial buyers seeking higher returns on alternative assets.
