Land Prices

English farmland values rose by 6.9% in the second quarter of 2010. This takes growth over the past 12 months to 19.7%, according to the latest results of the Knight Frank Farmland Index.

The average price of farmland is at the highest level recorded by the index.

Prices are being driven up by a continuing shortage of supply and increased interest from private individuals.

The amount of farmland publicly advertised for sale so far this year has fallen by almost one third.

Values are predicted to rise further during 2010.

RICS Rural Land Market Survey H1 2010

The latest RICS Rural Land Market Survey reports that demand for farmland continues to rise whilst the supply of land has continued to decline. On average, bare land prices increased by 6% across England & Wales in the first half of 2010.

Looking forward, surveyors expect farmland prices to continue rising over the next 12 months as a result of the supply/demand imbalance.

Grantham is a market town within the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire that lies to the south of Lincoln and east of Nottingham. The town has a substantial infrastructure and commuter element to support its large and expanding population. It is home to a wide range of local amenities that are easily accessible from the site including numerous shops, a post office, grammar schools and colleges as well as the Grantham & District Hospital.

The district of South Kesteven is the second largest in Lincolnshire. The A1 passes through it as does the East Coast Main Line. Both of these contribute to house prices in the area, which are the highest in the county. This has led to the district as a whole having one of the fastest-growing housing markets in the whole country.

Good transport links to Newark, Nottingham, Peterborough and even more increasingly London, attract people to live in Grantham yet work in a larger city. The town’s grammar schools also attract pupils from nearby towns and villages.

The city of Nottingham can be quickly and easily reached by road or rail and is the seventh largest urban area in the UK; home to the headquarters of many large and well known companies. Nottingham is progressively changing from an industrial city to one based largely in the service sector. It has one of the highest GDP per capita in the country and in 2007 was fifth in the retail shopping league of England. There are two main shopping centres in Nottingham and numerous smaller shopping areas in development. These new developments will increase the shopping sales area by 28%. Tourism is becoming an increasingly significant part of the area’s economy with many visitors attracted by its nightlife, shops and history. This has led to Nottingham being touted by DK Travel as one of the Top 10 cities in the world to visit.

Nearby Peterborough has expanded greatly to help house London’s overspill. It continues to see significant growth and a £1 billion redevelopment of the city centre and surrounding areas is underway. The city is currently experiencing an economic boom compared to the rest of the UK, believed in part to be due to this regeneration plan.

Grantham is surrounded by superb transport links. The nearby A52 connects the site with Nottingham, whilst the A607 leads to Leicester. The A1 links the site with London and Edinburgh and several towns and cities in-between.

Grantham train station is just a short walk from the site and offers direct trains to many nearby towns and to London in just over an hour.
