someone who buys an area of land in order to make a profit by selling it at a much higher price to those who hope they can build houses, etc. on it in the future

Typically, landbankers buy land for under £10,000 an acre and then sell plots of one-tenth of an acre for £8,000 to £16,000 each. 土地创富投资者的典型做法是以低于每英亩一万英镑的价钱置地，然后将每十分之一英亩的地块以八千到一万六千英镑的价钱出售。

At least two landbankers have recently gone bust, leaving investors holding almost worthless plots of land. 至少有两家土地创富投资商破产了，使得那些投资下家购入的地块变得几乎一文不值。
