Silkpoint Strategic Land Fund has been established to exploit the ideal market opportunities for strategic land purchase in the UK and to offer the sophisticated investor, an alternative to commercial and residential property to diversify their portfolios.
Asset prices are falling, fundamentally sound businesses are struggling and the once buoyant housebuilding industry, has been all but annihilated. But challenging times bring rewarding opportunities.
An opportunity to exploit the strategic land market taking the advantage from the financial situation between land owners and major house builders. The current banking system has had a direct impact on strategic land purchase for the housebuilder and developer.

They simply can no longer afford to speculate on buying land. Instead they can now really only purchase land which already has planning permission. This has produced a situation where Silkpoint Strategic Land Fund can purchase land from landowners at a fraction of the sale value to housebuilders becoming a conduit between landowners wishing to realise capital quickly and housebuilders wishing to wait until land has planning before purchase.

We recognise that the house building industry's loss will be the significant gain of the astute investor who recognises the outstanding opportunities to be exploited and maximise returns over the next seven years. Current economic conditions have produced unprecedented opportunities for investing in UK land. In the 'greenfield' market there is minimal competition for undeveloped land from home builders and developers, who can no longer afford to bid on the land or maintain their option agreements with land owners.

Within the 'brownfield' market, there is a complete lack of vision and the necessary experience, backed up by the necessary finance to exploit the value in the land. In both areas financial constraints have allowed opportunity for us to maximise returns.
