The cost of land

That would depend on a huge number of factors, including how close to your house it is.
 
Depends on -

Where in the country is it?
Is it in a village/town or is it in open countryside?
Does it have a classification eg greenbelt?
Has it ever been built on?
What type of ground is it - hill/marsh/park/permanent pasture etc?
What is the access?
Are there any services - electric/water?

Impossible to say otherwise as land varies enormously and at the moment is going up all the time
 
Ah cool :D It's not on a house or anything, in a semi-rural place (but horsey), clay based I'd say, nothing on it and don't think there has been recently....
 
A 3 acre piece of grazing land with one shelter on it which isn't connected to mains water which has 'potential for future development' has just gone up for sale in my area...£75k.:eek:
 
On average, farmland in GB is between 5k - 15k an acre. In our area it's 11k an acre for average farmland.

HOWEVER if it's s small piece, near a town/village, could poss be used for planning, or horses, there will be a lot of competition so the money gets silly.

The old adage - 'it's priceless, they're not making any more of it,' will always apply to land.
 
We're currently looking for some land, possibly two acres, but it's like gold dust in our area, and we expect to pay up to 50k for it.

On the other hand some lucky buggar picked up 15 acres of grazing land for £78k the other week just down the road to me. I would hope for that bargain that it probably has no development/planning permission on it or ever will be allowed.

Of course it has now got sheep on it:rolleyes:
 
Phone! Went for silly money. The other is on a hill, owner can't get planning permission & gets more renting it to someone with 2 small fat ponies.

I was looking at purchasing 25 acres at the incredible price of £75k a while back, started chatting and they said its £500k (I thought it would be!) they said they'd just advertised what one parcel could sell as if they divided it up, but were selling as a whole with an option of dividing. Ironically the 'parcel of land' they showed me with planning permission was going cheapest?!

Not impressed and knew a number of people also caught out, they're silly as won't get the interest that they would if it was put up for the right amount... still on the market 2years later!
