About Intro Crowd
Intro Crowd are pioneers in strategic land investment. They provide unique opportunities for investors through their secure, online crowdfunding platform. IntroCrowd is an Appointed Representative of Sapia Partners LLP, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Intro Crowd make strategic land their business, and their platform is designed to make the investment process as straight forward as possible for investors. Strategic refers to location, accessibility and potential and they believe that their sites have potential for
development which could lead to a return on investment.
They aim to seek out strategic land where there’s a clear demand in the area for future housing, or a need for space for amenities that accompany it. In addition to land located in areas of high housing need, strategic land can include land with good access – for example, near to key roads, or land used primarily for utilities and public or private infrastructure. Such sites are usually within or beside locations that may be put to future residential use, or which are already in urban use.
Most of their investment opportunities are for undeveloped Greenfield land. They believe this has the potential to benefit from the rise in demand to meet the UK’s current and future housing needs. Known as “strategic land development”, cities and county councils are often in need of land to be developed for housing or amenities – and political support for these development schemes is very strong from all political parties.
