Title: Search for land or woodlands
Post by: WoodlandWanderer2023 on January 05, 2024, 09:06:11 pm
I'm looking for land or woodlands or mixed. Area from Kent to South Wales. £30,000 budget, anything considered. I've been dreaming of self sufficient living for too long and time to make it a reality!

Many thanks!

Google 'land for sale Wales' or whatever area you live in.  You won't get much for 30K but even an acre will be a start for you
Good luck

Be aware that in England, land and houses being auctioned will typically get double the "guide price".  It's supposed to be within 10% of the expected price but that is rarely the case.

Don't let it stop you looking and bidding, you might just get lucky!  But don't fall in love with a plot if it's being auctioned at a guide price close to your limit, because sadly, it's very unlikely to come your way.

If it's possible for you to move house, you could consider one with a very large garden as a start off point, preferably one in not great nick that you can add value to
