Title: Land wanted near Dunfermline
Post by: Smiler on January 07, 2010, 12:17:48 am
I would love to rent (or buy) a piece of land in West Fife, purely to walk and train my own 2 dogs on.  I am teaching them distance work and it's hopeless trying to do that in a park with other people's dogs trying to join in!  The more space we have, the better, but the condition of the land itself doesn't matter (wooded, hilly, marshy - we don't mind!).  I'd like it to be at least partially fenced though, and with reasonable road access.  Has anyone got anything they think we could use?

Not sure if this would be any good to you?

Oh well spotted - I thought I'd seen all the bits of land for sale round here!  I've emailed Bradburnes, so, fingers crossed.

Thanks again, I really appreciate that.

I've been looking for the same - but £40K is out of my reach - would you consider allowing me to use it with my dogs for a fee?

40k for 3k's worth of land! Thats either an early april fools - or there's a good chance of planning being granted!

My thoughts exactly!  Rather too expensive for me to buy, but I've asked if I can rent it until it's sold - maybe they'll be happy to have some money coming in for it in the meantime.

Not sure about that - depends if its new on or not - land at Tillycoultry sold pretty quick - that was 3 acres for £14K I think but no chance of residential planning

Yeah, but I think the average cost for "normal" land without planning permission is about £4000 per acre - this bit is offers over £40k for one acre.  I'll wait & see what the reply is anyway.
