REPORT HEADLINES

YORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER REGIONAL FOCUS

  • The RICS reports that land prices in the Yorkshire and the Humber Region rose by 15% in the second half of 2006 compared with 1% for the first half of 2006.
  • Average arable land price in the region is now £8402/ha
  • Pasture land price in the region averages £6857/ha.

 NATIONAL BACKGROUND

  • Rural land prices up strongly on rising farmer and non-farmer demand
  • Activity in the farmland market shows a big surge
  • Rising commodity prices strengthen the financial position of farmers, reducing pressure to put land up for sale
  • Demand for farmland has been pushed up by record City bonuses, and farmers who have benefited from higher commodity prices

  • Foreign farmers have also shown a strong level of interest (particularly from Denmark and Ireland according to surveyors) due to the price differential of farmland in their home markets.
