No improvement at Lands Improvement
Article Abstract:
Lands Improvement is a UK company that purchases and manages land in rural areas. The company carried out a flotation in 1996 when UK rural land prices peaked but there could be a drop of 10% in 1996 according to Savills, a real estate agent. The company owns 24,000 acres of land and is mainly involved in real estate trading and investment so a drop in land prices will hit Lands Improvement. The company buys land in prime sites and improves it, which is a sound strategy but the land cycle may not appeal to investors.
