Q3 2019
The price of arable land has now reduced for the fourth consecutive quarter, averaging £8,564 per acre during Q3 2019. This was a 1.2% fall during the quarter and a 4.7% decline year on year. The average price of pasture land is now £6,831 per acre, a 0.8% increase over the quarter, but a 0.2% decline annually. Despite short-term fluctuations in arable and pasture land values over the last 12 months across England and Wales, both are still 10% above levels achieved five years ago.
Don’t be lulled into thinking the property sector will lie immune to the fast approaching driverless transport revolution. Professor Simon Gibson, a leading expert on autonomous vehicles, warns not to underestimate the changes that will reshape parts of the market by 2040.

Interest from overseas purchasers has picked up in recent months, with favourable exchange rates likely to be a key factor, offsetting the current tough market conditions experienced not only in the North West, but across
the country.
A number of investors in the north of England are turning their attention to woodland which, as an asset class, benefits from income potential as well as capital appreciation of the land. Its long-term investment potential provides a high degree of stability, and is therefore attracting a large and varied pool of buyers, making it particularly attractive for investors.
Demand for assets with the potential for diversification has built consistently over the last few years, and there has been a notable trend in recent months of farm buildings being converted into wedding venues. That said, many buyers continue to sit on their hands until an asset that meets all of their criteria becomes available.

The lifestyle market continues to strengthen in the South East, despite the uncertain political climate, which is still restricting the number of properties coming to the market. While this limited supply has subdued transactional activity, demand has remained relatively robust, particularly for assets where there is an option for diversification.

In recent months, Carter Jonas has been involved in a number of sales where farmer buyers are acquiring Welsh lifestyle farms for use as holiday accommodation. This follows the trend seen throughout England and Wales, where buyers are seeking assets where alternative, non-farming income is available.
