Land is a solid and easy to understand investment
Land is not open to accounting scandals and it is clear when property prices are going up (or down) and the reason for this movement. For example everyone in England is presently aware of the housing crisis in the South East. Other traditionally 'solid' investments such as precious metals are not as simple as they appear.

A semi-detached house in South East England can easily cost £250,000, whereas a residential-sized plot of investment land in the same location could be bought from upwards of £10,000.

Investment land can be used for grazing animals, starting a business or building a home on, or it can simply be left as it is - whatever is done with it, the price is likely to rise considerably, even with the slowdown in house price inflation
