Private Island for Sale – and it’s Less Than a House in London!

This Scottish Island is up for sale, and only half the price of the average house for sale in London.

Vladi Private Islands are offering up the beautiful island Linga up for sale on the west of Shetland, Scotland on the market for over £250,000 only. The beautiful panoramic views of Linga would be the same price as an average studio or one bedroom apartment in London… so your choice! 

Linga has been uninhabited since 1937, so it is unspoiled and natural all across its 63.75 acres of land, with easy access to the mainland (even though it is closer to Norway than Scotland). This tempting offer would give a privacy fanatic the best scenario, only being accessible by boat, with currently only two cottage remains on the island. 

However, Vladi Private Islands has administered new building permissions to introduce new agricultural buildings, new cottages and renovating old ones. There are also plans to make the island eco-friendly and efficient in terms of energy sources by building solar panels and a wind mill for power, as well as septic tanks to capture sewage and rain water and shed roofs to provide fresh water.

So, summed up, this is a promising land being renovated soon which is literally only half the price of the average housing cost in London, which in January 2020 was totaled at £476,588. Just think about it.

Fahad Vladi, the owner of the company selling the island, mentioned that the reason the price was so low was because of the limitations to what can be renovated and built on the island. 

Scotland’s laws emphasize the renovation of already existing architecture, so it really limits the extent that you can develop islands. 

Vladi comments to MailOnline

In Scotland you have special laws which prohibit you to really develop islands, so we always have to go back to what is there…
Therefore the prices are according to what you can do – you see the island, you see the acreage, but the question is always what kind of use have you got. If you have only a small stable which you can rebuild, then of course, your use is limited so the prices are lower.

This means that it would be illegal to buy the island with means to build hundreds of residential properties on it, but that might spoil its natural charm to anyways.
