price per acre of grazing land to rent???

I have a friend who pays 2500 per year for 7.2 acres of grazing and an extra plot where she put up some stables and a feed room.

that would be 347 per acre per year and about 29 per acres per month.
this is in south cambs near the boarder with essex
 
Hi I am just about to take on 17.5 acres and they are still deciding the rent, as an idea somewhere between 150-200 per acre per year, I am based in South Leeds if thats any help.
 
Difficuly one to answer. I rent almost 4 acres from the local council which costs £700 for a 10 month lease; I have to provide and maintain stock-proof fencing and had to pay to have water laid on. There is a 1.67 acre field up for rent round the corner which is £100 a month but we are in the New Forest . . . . . 30-40 acres would cost thousands per month round here in the unlikely event that much became available
 
I would offer 120 per acre per year, that is just above the going rate, if you have been offered the land the farmer will know that is a fair offer and that you are not trying to rob him, you might have to up it a bit. You should really do some local digging though and find out what the average is in your own area, local to us it is around 80 per acre per year
 
Hello everyone - we rent a barn conversion on the Welsh/Shropshire border which formed part of of and old dairy farm (the owners live next door in the main farm house). We also rent 5 acres of grazing land (not particularly good quality in terms of drainage etc) with 3 stables, a feed room and small courtyard, which is right next door to the barn conversion.

Having read some of the posts, does anyone think we are paying over the odds at £500 per month for the land and stables etc (excluding the barn conversion)?
 
Where abouts in Essex are you?
A friend of mine has been looking for grazing land for nearly a year with no success.
Just to give you and idea on the Herts/Essex border she was paying £25 a week for ten acres including water but no storage etc.

Crickx what you pay would be in the middle of the range I'd expect to pay around here for those facilities.
