UK land prices 'rocket'

The price of residential land in the UK has increased a staggering eight-fold over the last 20 years.

A shortage of residential land combined with buoyant demand for new properties lies behind rising prices says the Halifax survey.

Unsurprisingly, the most expensive land in the UK is in London and the South East and the cheapest in Wales and the North.

However, of late prices have been rising faster in lagging areas, and the gap closing.

Residential land has proved an even better investment during the last 20 years than property - with house prices rising 306%.

Long term, land supply shortages are likely to continue and as a result house prices continue to grow.

Region by region

In 1983, a hectare cost just £759,000, meaning land prices in the capital have risen by 624%.

Land prices in Wales have grown the fastest.

In 1983, a hectare cost just £85,000. By the end of 2002, this had soared to £980,000 - a 1,053% increase.

Across the UK, land prices have risen from £174,000 a hectare to nearly £1.6m - an increase of 808%.

"The price of farmland has risen by nearly a third in the past year as a new breed of non-farming buyers look to fields as an alternative to bricks and mortar or the stock market, a survey said yesterday. Overall, the cost of a piece of countryside has gone up by up to 30 per cent this year and by 130 per cent since the early 1990s, according to the survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors."
