This is property investment in its simplest form - buying a piece of land with the intention of selling it at a later date for a profit - often thanks to some external factors accelerating the value faster than market trends.
Land banking is a relatively hassle-free way of investing in property and can be extremely lucrative, especially where an investor subdivides a much larger piece of land, gains new planning consent, or is benefiting from wider development of infrastructure in an area.
The main drawback is that investing in land can require a long-term perspective, as it can take years for an investment to really come to fruition.
