Land Prices Surge
1st June 2008
Land prices have surged over the last 12 months and the sale of land can provide the ideal opportunity to release cash for other investments while the market is high.
McCartneys sold many areas of land between £8000 and £12,000 per acre throughout the Welsh Borders, Shropshire, and Herefordshire & Worcestershire.
Sharp increases in commodity prices have encouraged farmers to expand production and enter the market as purchasers, with demand far outstripping supply, with lifestyle buyers still present on the market despite the credit crunch. The RICS Rural market survey 2007 resulted in a 27.9% increase (the fastest pace in the surveys history) with arable land rising from an average of £9,929 to £10,949 per acre. With the going so good maybe now is the time to release those assets you have thought of selling for years.

23rd May 2008
The Readers House, one of Ludlow’s most important buildings has recently been sold again by McCartneys, Grade I Listed (a similar listing to Buckingham Palace) due to its significant architectural and historic importance. Put up for auction in 2003 by a rival Agent and sold for £230,000 - far below what most people were expecting it to achieve, the property was mothballed for 12 months and then McCartneys were instructed to sell and subsequently achieved a sale price of £375,000 – a good result for their clients!
