Illegal cannabis farms are dotted across the UK, with many situated in London. It’s reported that a cannabis farm is found every two days in the British capital, especially in South London. The borough of Croydon, in particular, had the most cannabis factories according to the latest numbers – 30 in total.

Investing in property during the planning stages, before the building process has been completed, or in some cases, before it has even started, can be extremely lucrative for investors. For investors who are new to the sector, it may seem like a daunting prospect to hand over cash before seeing the finished product, and like any investment it is not without its risks.
