VR Property Group offers low minimum investment in UK farmland with 6% fixed rental yield

• Wednesday, 24 February 2010

VR Property Group is now offering UK farmland investment opportunities to non-institutional/retail investors. With a low minimum investment of only £20,000 and a fixed rental yield of 6% per annum, this offering allows investors to benefit from the expected rise in farmland prices. Veteran investor Jim Rogers has proclaimed agriculture as the investment “of the next three decades”, as the world comes to grips with a growing population and food shortages.

The value of UK farmland has already grown 176% in the past decade and 7% in the past year owing to a shortage of supply, according to Knight Frank, the estate agent, and it believes values could rise still further due to the ongoing imbalance between supply and demand. It is thought that prices may well double before the end of the decade.

Farmland Repeatedly Outperforms Other Assets:
Total return from UK farmland (rental income plus capital growth) has outperformed other asset classes over the short-term (23% average return over the last 3 years), mid-term (17% over 10 years) and the long-term (14% over 20 years).
