Google land and farm estate agents for your area, Jac.

small plots of land are in great demand commanding high prices, but if youre fortunate enough to be a cash buyer then you may get lucky.

contact youre local estate agents with youre requirements as theyll be in the know, atb with your search daf

Is vary in price a big diffrence , if you wish shoot land buy near big woodland, with water close by, or is on. Land is grade in quality meadow, to serverly diadvantage land, so can be £1 000 to £25 000 per acre. look around area of moorland, where farmer clear over many year, hill land cheeper also, woodland with many tree also good price. No change land if buy, no cut tree down or change too much , you get azz kicked !! Then save you money, & buy as you buy home.Look in Farmer guardian, is in shop friday. Once buy land , get police & firearm authority to clear for calibre you wish .

Not entirely sure, I'm sure if you ring a number on the site they will be able to tell you, I haven't personally brought anything from woodlands but I was looking into it, and still am.

 

All the best,

do you pay any tax like council tax on land ?

[dafydd thomas 13]

you definately need a solicitor expensive buggers but worth theyre weight in gold sometimes, land could have all sorts of clauses right of ways etc etc

No you no need solisitor, but you mus know what you do. most solisitor fee £300/400 but may be worth, look in paper/ or yellow book. I know man who buy farm near nuclear factory, he has all legal team, but no one say, the new factory build in next field to him, 5 acre away so, nothing garantee ! No council tax or rate for land , defra pay you over 9 acre,per acre

land isnt cheap we brought 4 acres just over 5 years ago for £24000 with no water or services just old grazing land, but you pay less per acre the more you buy so depends on your budget.

it is worth having a solicitor as they look for rights of ways etc and any covenants that the land may have ie you may think it is just grazing land but the previous owners may have granted permission for the parish to hold its yearly fate on the ground, it only cost us around £100 for this.

there is no council charges on the ownership of land.

thanks. some great advice there, keep it coming

Just looked on that Woodlands site and all of the 'woods' have a covenant, if you look at this it states no shooting

[jac 12]
