What is Land Banking?

This is a new project in Southern Spain, which is offering a new way of investing in land.
In the UK Land Banking is the practise of acquiring land and holding it for future use. The land purchased is greenbelt with an investor holding a share or a plot. The investor waits and hopes this land will be rezoned so that it can be sold to a developer. The investor then gets his return.

HOWEVER there is no guarantee that the land will ever be rezoned or that the investor will get a return within a certain period.

This investment vehicle works on similar lines but with some fundamental differences that offer the investor client “total peace of mind!”

Unlike typical land banking in the UK this particular project in Southern Spain has an Urbanistic Agreement with local town hall already in place, meaning it is on the way to getting the land re-classified (reclassification estimated for February 2007), which is of course when the land value rises significantly as it is then able to be developed.

The Urbansitic Agreement is for a Golf and Country Club with villa plots and a range of services for the benefit to the residents. The plot can be sold on at any time throughout the re-zoning process, it can also be sold after re-zoning or the investor could participate and build a villa in the Archidona Golf and Country Club project.

The whole process is simple and transparent and includes Bank Guarantees to fully protect any sums invested. There is also an exit strategy in place where by an investor would get all his invested money returned in full in the unlikely event of the land not get the necessary reclassification.

» Price of the Land starts at 35 Euros Per m2
» The average plot size is 4,500 m2
» The total cost therefore is 157,500 euros and the payment terms are as follows:-

Deposit: 6000 Euros - fully refundable subject to client approval of plot choice, contract and pricing.

First payment: 50% on private purchase contract (within 4 weeks)
Final payment: 50% payable approximately 18 months AFTER the re-zoning licence is granted (approximately August 2008)

Archidona is situated in the northern part of Malaga, 20 kilometres from Antequera, and bordering on the province of Granada.
