Explanatory notes
- Values within the commercial and industrial land sectors recorded significant increases in line with the sales. A new industrial estate has increased availability of land, increased demand and this was reflected in the sales, albeit the market is still very small.
- Cattle commodity prices reduced during 2023, after significant growth in 2019-2022. This corresponded with significant increase in rural land values during that period, as a result of continued low interest rates, good seasons and high commodity prices. Since that time, despite lower commodity prices and higher interest rates, recent sales support the continued confidence.
- Other land recorded a minor increase with petroleum lease valuations valued in accordance with the Land Valuation Act 2010.
