Going rate for paddock per acre?

[Bobthecob15]

I appreciate there will be some regional variation but what is the current price roughly for paddocks per acre? One which is 1.17acres has come up for sale in our village and they are asking £35k for it it has road access, not sure about water...no electricity that we can tell. Its in poor condition, hasn't been grazed for a good while, and needs new fencing by the looks of it...just curious if this is normal? It's in North Herefordshire, West Midlands.

It's next to a house which is struggling to sell, they've split the property from the land by the looks of it. Its with a regular estate agent, not a land agent or an agency typically selling land.

Thanks!

Sounds about right for a paddock in a village near a house

Depends how 'nice' your village is and the availability of other land but doesn't seem unreasonable for that area.

Also possibly for sale to someone hoping fir planning permission. Land near my village is snapped up and built on.

Small paddocks always go for more money. There is a 6 acre paddock near us that just went for more than 175K so land is not cheap at the moment. Agricultural land in Cheshire is about 20K an acre at the mo - which seems extremely high but that's what happens I suppose on a small island.

If there is a hope of planning permission it is a total bargain.

As much as the seller feels like asking, small lots do go for more per acre
Or to the person buying the house next door, also a bargain

2.8 acres divided into 3 paddocks with 3 elderly stables, serviceable fencing but elderly, water to one tap by gate sold for £285k a month ago.
Home counties, direct onto hacking but under 2 miles from busy town. Not a chance of building on it as in a SANG and a couple of very water tight covenants for access.
Was advertised at over 330k 5 months ago.

Huge variations round the country but as already mentioned, smaller plots are more ££'s per acre.

OK thanks guys!

I would say as well as this: a plot too small to keep horses is going to be less per acre. So 1 acre is probably worth less than a quarter of the amount you’d pay for 4 acres, on which you can more easily keep 2 or 3 horses. You’d struggle to maintain grass and to keep it from being a mud pit on just an acre. (Although as others have said the value of a 1 acre plot may be high for other reasons like the likelihood of planning).

Thank you that makes sense x

£300,000 for 2.5 acres with a couple of outbuildings on it just outside Barnard castle. Been for sale for a few months now.

I'm planning on selling some land in NE Scotland next year, hoping for about £12,000 an acre.

 

[Goldenstar]

That does not sound an out of the way price .
if you want and you can go for it .

 

[Bobthecob15]

Oh I'm not sure we will, we have a teeny bit of grazing already but not enough for 1 all year round... so keep mine at Livery, I was just curious as it seemed a lot, £10-12k an acre seems to be the sort of price online but I am assuming that is if you buy larger plots that are perhaps part of a farm?

We'd not be able to match builders prices anyway!

this is good to know as we have 6 acres to sell! did this have PP?

We have 50 acres of agricultural land for sale just outside my village for £500k. I enquired whether they would split it into lots as I would be interested in 2 of the fields which were about 9 acres in total. They wanted £200k - so about double the price per acre for a smaller lot. Admittedly, they were the two most accessible fields and probably the only two you could get mains water to (there's a river running through the very bottom that cows could reach) relatively easily and the two highest lying fields so the least wet in winter but it priced me out of it. I expected a bit of a premium but not double. I'd probably need to change the use from agricultural to equestrian as well which would cost a bit.

South Yorkshire 1:2 acre, good boundaries, stream, nice entrance pp for stables and access track, slightly sloping land plenty of tree shelter from trees on boundary. £75K ( will never get residential planning). Usually plain field is under 20k an acre for under 10 acres.

Crikey, this is why I'll probably be at livery forever!

Land is all a bit mad at the moment - but they don't make any more of it so people can ask what they want.
