I’ve just finished modules 1 and 2 of the Land Finder Course. They are really well laid out and make it easy to learn.

However I’m a bit behind with the tasks as my printed UDP hasn’t arrived yet. I rang the council this morning and they apologised for the delay, so should be with me soon. As I said last week I can’t see the online UDP as they have removed it.

The thing that I like about the course is that Lyndon uses his practical knowledge to show you what is possible. In module 2 he shows us a practical example, where there is a possible profit of anything between £75,000 and £250,000 depending on the development that is proposed and how much you can option the land for.

I have learnt a lot so far, you should start off looking for land in an urban area – particularly brownfield land. I also understand how to find a potential site using the UDP, Google Earth and Bing Maps. Module 2 covers desktop appraisals, where you can assess whether a site is worth proceeding with before you even get in your car.

It’s Friday and my UDP map has just arrived, wow it’s big and there’s two of them! I can now go through the tasks in modules 1 and 2, to actually find some land sites. It’s quite daunting but I’m going to just jump in and see how I get on.
