Land prices down 1.5% as Brexit looms

Average land prices have fallen by 1.5% to €9,650 per acre in the six months to June, according to a survey issued by Sherry Fitzgerald estate agents.

The survey has confirmed the downward trend, with a 0.5% dip in the first three months of 2016 followed by a 1% dip in April to June.

This reversal follows modest but steady upward price movement during 2015.
