depends on your budget, do you like your house and would like to stay in it? is the land a good price so you could sell on later if you found house and land, is there a house near that may come up for sale to buy in the future ? I would prefer a house and land together but if this would suit you why not...Provided the price was right, would you buy a parcel of land (with stables, albeit, crappy ones) just over a mile from your own home? Or, would you hold out til something within price range came up i.e. house and land?
Has anyone bought land away from their actual house and did you regret it?
Thankies
Water is fairly cheap if there is a main near by £100s, electric can be horendous depends again on a suitable supply near by, but if it has to come even a short distance quite pricey 1000s, yes security would be my main concern depends on the area..That's the thing, love our house but would no way be able to afford something like it, with land, so we'd have to downgrade on the house.
Don't you worry about security, etc when the land is separate from house? This parcel is effectively in the middle of nowhere. Also, it doesn't have water/elec - I haven't looked into costs for connection, etc as it's only just come up, has anyone got any ballpark figures or does it depend entirely where the mains are. It's down a 150m track from the road and has elec running to the yard next door.
