(PRWEB) January 21, 2010 -- DGC Investment Consultants are providing retail and mid-range investors with capital of £25,000 to £5 million with tailored portfolios of tenanted UK farmland at RICS valuation, with farming tenants on a seven year lease, creating a NET annual income yield for investors of 6.3%, paid quarterly in advance.

"Agricultural lending has all but dried up in the credit crunch, and farmers are desperate to access capital to refinance previous loans and to fund expansion", said David Garner, Managing Partner at DGC Investment Consultants.
"I'm convinced that farmland is going to be one of the best investments of our time." Jim Rogers
"Our Asset Management Partners locate candidate farmers and complete intensive financial audits, ensuring that we partner only with farmers with excellent debt to equity ratios and strong and consistent cash flow. We then value have RICS perform a valuation of the farmers key asset, his land, and purchase the land from them on a seven year lease back basis, creating an extraordinary yield of 7.3% (6.3% after management fees). The farmers pay their rent quarterly in advance, creating a strong income for our clients" he added.

Both Savills and Knight Frank, two industry leaders in rural and agricultural real estate in the UK, have projected annual value growth at around 8% for the coming years for UK agricultural land, and this buy to let investment model creates the perfect platform for investors to access a growth asset in a fully managed turnkey environment.

David Garner added "We build in a buyback option after seven years as 99% of these farmers want their land back when they can replace investors funds with more traditional finance such as bank loans, mortgages and fixed asset finance, this has created an exit strategy for our clients, alongside a long term tenant with a vested interest in the property".
